Queenscliff is a railway station on the Queenscliff branch line off the main Warnambool line in Victoria, Australia. The station was originally opened on 21 May 1879, the current station building constructed in 1881 and is listed on the Victorian Heritage Register.[1]
The station was linked to Swan Island by a 3 foot gauge tramway for transport of goods between the years of 1886 and 1958.[2][3]
The station was closed to all Victorian Railways services on 6 November 1976. After this date, usage of the line was granted to the Bellarine Peninsula Railway who commenced tourist operations from the station in May 1979 to Lakers Siding, and to Drysdale not long after.
