Default rail locations unreachable by road

On the newsgroup uk.railway recently, there has been a discussion about
stations with no road access. A similar discussion re Australia may be
of interest.

There is of course a question of definition. Someone would say that you
can't reach an underground station by road, but presumably there is a
road immediately accessible. The intention is really to identify places
where you couldn't get in by road except with quite a long walk after
you left the road.

There've certainly been a number of crossing loops and other safeworking
locations in Australia (especially NSW) where there has been no road
access, at least until relatively recent times. Till quite a late stage
in its history, for instance, Border Loop was only accessible by rail.

Anyone care to start the list?

More stations ...

General Motors , Adelaide Hill station, and the station between Menzies
Creek and Belgrave Puffing Billy with a small shelter I can't remember its
name....
WGR's(Walhalla Goldfield railway) Happy Creek station
IIRC VGR's Muckleford station is rather hard to access by car too. In a way
you can say Middle Footscray station is hard to reach by road too......

You can get there by road. Requires the same ammount of walking as an
underground station.

Deep Hole on the Ida Bay Railway.

Also, Australia's most southerly railway station.
