Erica was a railway station on the Walhalla narrow gauge line in Gippsland, Victoria, Australia. The station was officially opened in 1910, became the terminus of the line on 4 October 1952 with the closure of the section of track to Platina, then closed finally on 25 June 1954.[1]
From 1941 onwards, the station also had sidings for a Forest Commission timber mill.[2]
Erica was originally named Upper Moondarra, but was renamed prior to 15 June 1908 to Moondarra, then to Harris (after a local member of parliament) prior to the line opening. In 1914 it was renamed Erica after a local mountain.[3]
The site is currently leased by a caravan park, although it is planned as the ultimate western terminus for the Walhalla Goldfields Railway.[4]
