| Description: |
The most significant location along the line. The 120m platform with impressive station building was located on the up side. It was served by a separate platform road. Also on the up side were several siding servicing stock yards, a loading bank, a through-line goods shed with jib crane, and a couple of grain sheds. Opposite the platform were ash pits and a water tank. At the Narrandera end of the yard were three down loco sidings with a coal stage and turntable. By the time the line closed, the yard had been rationalised. The platform road and a pair of goods sidings remained. All that was left of the loco facilities was a down refuge siding.

| Current status: |
The station building is being used as a residence. There are remains of the extensive yard (signal posts etc). Silos are still present up-line.
