| DESCRIPTION |
| Details (Known As) |
The Marree Hotel (Former Great Northern Hotel) |
| Registered Name |
Great Northern Hotel |
| Significance |
This is a prominent building in the main street, indeed, the only two-storey building in the town. It is a very dominant element which is associated with other commercial buildings in the town and the railway reserve which is immediately to the north. Because of its age and nature, this is one of the most significant buildings in Marree. Most of the original railway buildings have long since been replaced.
The history of this building is identified with that of the town and it reflects the essential nature of Marree, namely that of an important railhead and means of entry to the remote interior. The hotel has long been the social centre and an important place of accommodation for the many private, parliamentary and scientific visitors who have passed through Marree. |
