'''Tarrawarra''' was a station on the former [[Healesville railway line|Healesville line]] between [[Yarra Glen railway station|Yarra Glen]] and [[Healesville railway station|Healesville]] stations, in [[Victoria (Australia)|Victoria]], Australia. The station opened in 1889 and closed along with the line in December 1980. In the 1970s, timetables showed that the station was a [[flag stop]] because of the small number of passengers using the station.

== History ==

The section of track through the location of the station is now maintained by the [[Yarra Valley Railway]], which is based at [[Healesville, Victoria|Healesville]]. A tourist service operates on weekends, and school and public holidays, using a restored [[Walker railmotor]], to the rear of the Tarrawarra Estate Winery, just through the [[Railway_tunnels_in_Victoria,_Australia#Tarrawarra_Tunnel|tunnel]] about 3&nbsp;km east of the former station. 

Tarrawarra station is expected to become a [[crossing loop]] when the station reopens as part of the restoration of the line to Yarra Glen. Work has commenced to replace the wooden bridges between the station and Yarra Glen, which were burned in the [[Black Saturday bushfires]] in 2009. Currently the Tarrawarra yard is being used as a major staging area for the restoration project.
