Jibilla railway station was located on the Adelaide-Wolseley line serving the Adelaide Hills suburb of Aldgate immediately east of the Yatina Road level crossing.[1] It was located 36.0 km from Adelaide station.

History

It is unclear when Jibilla station opened. Originally named Halliday's Crossing, it consisted of one 85 metre platform with a waiting shelter opening in the 1940s.[1]

The station closed on 23 September 1987, when the State Transport Authority withdrew Bridgewater line services between Belair and Bridgewater. The platform has since been demolished.
