On April 30, 1919, the arrival of the first official train at the Noojee Railway Station
marked a transformative moment for the region, turning what was once a remote
outpost into a vibrant trading hub.
A celebratory banquet was held to commemorate the opening of the railway line,
featuring special guests gathered under a marquee. The connection to Warragul played
a crucial role in driving this change, sparking an economic boom that revitalised the
local community.
As the train arrived at the station, it not only delivered goods and resources but also
carried the promise of growth and opportunity. This development paved the way for
new businesses to flourish, enriching the lives of residents who embraced the newfound
accessibility and connections to the wider world.
