Dubbil Barril, Tasmania

Dubbil Barril is a stopping place and railway station on the northern bank of the King River and West Coast Wilderness Railway in Tasmania.

During the operating as the Mount Lyell railway line, the stopping place gave travellers opportunity to explore the area adjacent

Originally on the Mount Lyell Mining and Railway Company railway line, which was removed in the 1960s, when the rebuilding of the railway line to make what would eventually become the West Coast Wilderness Railway, Dubbil Barril was considered to be the limit of the re-build [1]

It is the location of a turntable utilised by the current railway operations [2]
