Gellibrand was a railway station on the now-dismantled Victorian Railways narrow gauge Crowes railway line, 17 miles 20 chains (27.75 km) from Colac, Victoria. Originally built with three tracks, a fourth was added in 1923.[1] The station closed in 1962, along with the Colac to Beech Forest section of the line.
The original station building survives, which is used to display historical information. The station yard and a portion of the railway reservation is now part of the Old Beechy Rail Trail.[2]
