Lake Macquarie History

Station Street

This street used to cross the highway and connect with Ranclaud Street. Originally the railway left Teralba and went south through a steep cutting between two large hills, known locally as "the saddle." In the early 1900s, the line was taken around the hill, called the Fassifern Teralba Deviation. Station Street was surveyed in 1924 and named for the Booragul Station opening in 1926.
