The Police Station is now the location for the Burra Burra Branch of National Trust SA archives, and is not open to the public. The Police Lockup and Stables were dedicated to the National Trust in 1976 . *Part of the Burra Passport obtained from the Burra Visitor Centre. This is a paid point of interest.
