This article is a write up on the Girilambone Railway Station.

Recently the NSW Government announced a stimulus Package to Restore this Railway Station.

I had been in regular contact with the Bogan Shire Council as I was trying to get a Project off the ground for the Station, but now the Government has given the Council some money i don't need to keep on with my plans.

It is amazing that the NSW Government has come good with a grant.

The Railway Station was opened in 1884, when the Rail line reached Byrock.

The town Girilambone is 45 kms from Nyngan and has a lot of Tourism potential.

The town is also located between Coolabah and Nyngan on the Mitchell Highway.
