04 FROM THE FIELD NOTES

A gravel road curves beneath a steel overhead crane and timber footbridge. The clearance sign reads 4.3 metres. Behind it, a corrugated iron shed with a rusted red trim sits low against the sky. A black steam locomotive rests on the adjacent siding, its boiler catching flat midday light. White rope bollards line the approach. Dry grass edges the yard on both sides.

Bombala railway station is the terminus of the Goulburn-Bombala branch line, sitting at the southern end of the Monaro in NSW, near the Victorian border. The Nimmitabel to Bombala section opened on 21 November 1921, and every building in the yard dates from that year: the pre-cast concrete station building, signal box, goods shed, footbridge, turntable, gantry crane, cattle yard, and barracks. The last passenger service ran in August 1974. The last goods train rolled out on 26 March 1986. Listed on the NSW State Heritage Register (item 5011934, 2 April 1999), the station is described as one of the most intact country terminus sites from the 1920s railway expansion, with the station building rated as one of the best surviving pre-cast concrete structures in NSW. The Friends of Bombala Railway maintain the precinct as a heritage museum.
