Previous names Hunter

Woodleigh was a railway station on the Wonthaggi railway line in South Gippsland, Victoria, Australia. When it opened with the line in 1910 it was called "Hunter", but a few months later it was renamed Woodleigh.[1] The station closed with the line in 1978. All that remains of it are the upright supports for the platform retaining wall.

The station building is now situated in the Coal Creek Community Park and Museum at Korumburra, Victoria, Australia. Originally the entry to the park prior to the present Foyer being built in the 1980s, it now houses the Railway Museum and Nursing Mothers room at the Park.
