Jincumbilly Station

In its fifty-four years of active service, the Jincumbilly railroad siding never needed to expand. Opened in 1921, this wee station was serviced by the Bombala Railway Line twice a day for three days per week, once on Saturdays.

The line officially closed in 1986, but a trip to Bombala on the Monaro Highway is still well worth a look. The surrounding landscape is starkly beautiful, and though sparsely populated (as of the 2016 Census, Jincumbilly had zero residents), Bombala is home to a thriving community of platypuses. As of this writing, they have yet to issue any requests for service continuation.
