Notes : CHT operated a second siding on the North Coast line it predated Boambee Station by two years. The siding remained in operation until 1920. Nondaville was the junction for an 8km long 914mm or 3ft gauge line serving a sawmill located in the area of England's Road.
CHT had planned to run the tramway from Boambee Mill to the jetty district but this plan was revised after the announcement of the North Coast Railway.
Delays with obtaining rails frustrated CHT who had to transship their timber from the end of their tramway at Maharatta to the port of Coffs Harbour until the delays on Coffs Harbour to Raleigh section were overcome. The siding came into CHT ownership on 1/3/1918. Some sources refer to this as "Hendaville", though no records exist in the NSWGR that confirm this.
