The station was opened during the 1890s and operated until 1991, when the line to Barry Beach servicing the oil fields in Bass Strait was closed. The line was then dismantled and turned into the Great Southern Rail Trail.
Visitors to the area and the Great Southern Rail Trail can travel via train services on the South Gippsland Tourist Railway (on Sundays and public holidays); these services are provided by South Gippsland Railway.
