Birregurra railway station is located on the Warrnambool line in Victoria, Australia. It serves the town of Birregurra, and opened on 13 March 1877.[1][2]
History
When Birregurra station opened, it was the temporary terminus of the line from Winchelsea. On 27 July 1877, the extended line to Colac was opened.[2][3]
At one time, the station was the junction of the Forrest branch line, which opened in December 1889, and closed in March 1957.[1]
The sheep and cattle race was abolished in 1973.[4]
The station was to be one of the 35 stations closed under the New Deal for Country Passengers in 1981, but received a last-minute reprieve prior to the New Deal timetable being introduced.[5]
All the sidings formerly provided have been removed, but the original station building remains on the platform, as well as an iron water tower behind it. In 1996, the run-down station building was restored under the auspices of the South Western Railway Society, utilising people employed through the Federal Government's New Work Opportunities scheme.[6]
