Join us as we clean up the former Nyora Railway Station Precinct.
CITO is in the area between Davis, Mitchell and Henley Streets, Nyora.
Celebrate 200 Years of Railway History!
In 1825, the Stockton & Darlington Railway opened the world’s first passenger railway station on Tuesday 27th September — a milestone that transformed travel forever. Steam locomotives carried passengers and goods at unprecedented speed, sparking a transport revolution that connected towns, boosted industry, and shaped modern Britain.
This special SideTracked Railway 200 CITO at Nyora is part of a worldwide celebration running from Wednesday 24th to Tuesday 30th September 2025. All finds and hides from this event count towards your SideTracked statistics, and a unique profile badge will be created especially for this event. Whether your chosen location is old, disused, miniature, or still bustling today, it’s part of a railway story that’s been 200 years in the making.
Surrounded by scenic countryside, Nyora is on the cusp of the lowlands fringing Western Port Bay and the rolling hills of the Strzelecki Ranges. Look west for level farmlands and east for enchanting hillscapes. There’s space to breathe here.
The town has a couple of shops including a general store, post office, pharmacy and eateries. There are toilets located in the Railway Precinct.
