Tarwin railway station

Tarwin was a railway station on the South Gippsland line in South Gippsland, Victoria. The station was opened during the 1890s, and operated until its closure on 31 July 1976. [1] Prior to its closure, in 1974, it began operating under no-one-in-charge conditions. [2]

All that remains of the station is the platform mound, and a trestle bridge on the down end of the station site, which is now part of the Great Southern Rail Trail.
