Nowa Nowa railway station was on the Orbost railway line. It was opened on Monday, 10 April 1916, to serve the small town of the same name, and was closed with the line, in August 1987.[1]
Nowa Nowa was disestablished 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.[2]
The East Gippsland Rail Trail mostly follows the route of the former rail line, but the station site, just north of the rail trail, is now an emergency helicopter landing place.[3]
