Comment: Google Maps gives this street address for the coordinates that you entered: Dunns Creek, 174 Old Tuggeranong Rd, Tralee NSW 2901, Australia. Please consider whether this address or perhaps just part of it should be included in the infobox or the body of the article, or whether the address "Tralee, New South Wales 2901" is sufficient. In general, including a street address for a station is helpful when a station is in a town and you don't have to do original research to get the address, but is probably unnecessary if the station is far away from any roads. Apart from that, the draft seems to be ready to be moved to article space. Eastmain (talk • contribs) 14:30, 15 September 2021 (UTC)

Tuggeranong is a former railway station that was located on the Bombala railway line.
It was named after 'Tuggeranong', an early sheep station in the area. Although its name shares the same origin as the Canberra suburban area of Tuggeranong, the former station site is further east, just over the border in New South Wales. It predates the suburban area by over eight decades.[1][2]
There are some remnants of its siding and loading ramp at the former site of the station.[3]
