Dandenong Railway Station and Surrounds, 1957.

This interesting photo shows the old Dandenong Railway station and surrounding area as seen in 1957. Foster street runs across the bottom, with Cheltenham Road running across the top.

This helps to place in perspective where the old steam turntable and sheds were located in relation to the present layout. Note the old water tower up on the right, a relic also lost to time.

Later the land where the turntable was would be repurposed for the Southern Aurora hotel, which in time would give way to and extension of the bus interchange and carparking for the station.
