Couridjah is a former railway station which was located on the Picton – Mittagong loop railway line. It served Couridjah, a small town in the Macarthur Region of New South Wales, Australia.

History

The station opened on 2 December 1867 as Picton Lagoons Tank, was renamed Lagoons in 1878, Picton Lakes on 21 April 1879 and finally Couridjah on 1 January 1929. The station along with the Loop Line was closed in 1978.

The station has been restored by Volunteers from the New South Wales Rail Transport Museum in Thirlmere.

Occasionally, the museum operates steam heritage trains on the line through the station, between Thirlmere, Picton and Buxton.
