Located at 20 miles and 5 chains (32.286km) from Brighton, this site was a late addition to the line having only been constructed in 1927. The location had a facing 163' dead end siding on the Up side that serviced a stockyard. Passengers were picked up and dropped off here by request, but no station facilities were provided.
Separate sheep and cattle races were provided. The location was one that was requested to be kept open for trucking after the line closed.
