History

It is unclear when Carripook station was opened. It consisted of one 67 metre platform with a waiting shelter.

The station closed on 23 September 1987, when the State Transport Authority withdrew Bridgewater line services between Belair and Bridgewater. It was probably demolished around 1995 when the railway line was converted from broad to standard gauge.
