By 1904, a telegraph instrument and goods shed were provided. In 1911, the station building was destroyed by fire.[1][2][3] In 1982, the stationmasters office, platforms and remaining facilities were placed on the Victorian Heritage Register.[4]
In 2002, the station building was relocated to the Red Cliffs Historical Steam Railway, who currently use it as a terminus for their narrow gauge tourist railway located along a small section of the former Morkalla line.[5] The station platform still remains intact at the site of Irymple, along with the goods shed.
