Cobdogla is the home of the Irrigation and Steam Museum, centred on a pair of Humphrey pumps, one of which is operable,[lower-alpha 1] and boasts a working 3 km railway with both a diesel and a steam locomotive (originally used by Humes Ltd. to transport pipes for the Loveday pipeline), a traction engine and numerous stationary engines, all in working order, maintained and operated by enthusiasts, as well as static displays on various river topics – Village Settlements, Loveday Internment Camp and Irrigation maintained by the National Trust of South Australia.[6] Open days are infrequent as a great deal of (voluntary) labour is involved.
The historic Cobdogla Homestead Ruins and the Humphrey pumps at the former Cobdogla Pumping Station are listed on the South Australian Heritage Register.[7][8]
