01 – ORANGE RAILWAY STATION

Peisley St, Orange

An important passenger hub in the post-war years, Orange railway station was often the first place migrants saw when they arrived in the city. Initially men were brought by train to Orange from the Kelso and Bonegilla migrant camps and allocated work. Later, they boarded trains at the station to visit their wives and children living in migrant camps at Cowra and Parkes.
