Nowa Nowa railway station opened on Monday, 10 April 1916, to service the town of Nowa Nowa, as part of the Orbost railway line. The station has long since closed, with the last train passing the site in 1987.[1]
The station site remains just north of the realigned East Gippsland Rail Trail, which follows the route of the former rail line, with the station site itself now used as an emergency helicopter landing place.[2]
It was dis-established as a staff station on 25 July 1986, with the staff and ticket sections Bairnsdale - Bruthen, Bruthen - Nowa Nowa, and Nowa Nowa - Orbost abolished, and replaced with a single staff and ticket section; Bairnsdale - Orbost.[3]
