From 1947 to 1971, Bonegilla Army Camp operated as the Bonegilla Migrant Reception and Training Centre.[1] During this time, nearly all of 320,000 displaced refugees bound for the site would arrive at Bonegilla by train with most coming via Station Pier, Melbourne.[2]
Much of the development of the town of Bonegilla was due to the Cudgewa railway line which opened in 1889 and closed in 1981.[2] The platform has been restored as part of the High Country Rail Trail.
