TALLAROOK STATION COMPLEX - History
The station was opened on 18 November 1872 and originally included a goods shed which was later removed. The station opened as a staff station in 1876 with a platform located on the down side of the railway. The original station building was a standard timber structure like that at Wallan but this was gutted by fire in 1895. The current structure replaced the original timber building. In 1883 an island platform was built on the upside of the railway, which was connected to the main platform by a footbridge. Tallarook became a junction for the Goulburn River to Yea line and the main line from Broadford was also duplicated in 1883. A goods shed and platform were also built on the up side of the railway line prior to 1904, according to railway plans.TALLAROOK STATION COMPLEX - Interpretation of Site
