The site of the Rail Station facilities I was led to believe and then shown
some years back was on the North Side of Hawkesbury River on Mullet Creek,
on the western side the main line, I think about 1 to 2 ks north of Mullet
Creek Tunnel. It was between the railway line and the side of the hill.
There is a longish flat spot there in which old concrete exists. If it was
called Wondabyne I do not know. The Sandstone Quarry is still in use at
Wondy.
