Statement of significance:


	Gerogery is a small intact site in the far south of the state that clearly illustrates the importance of the railway to the rural development of the state and the intense rivalries between states for trade. The relative importance of the buildings, particularly the former station master's residence (no longer owned by State Rail), indicates the importance that was attached to a small centre. At its peak the site appears to have been a major freight centre as evidenced by the size of the now abandoned yard. The group of buildings is also of particular significance with the combination of substantial brick residences with a modest timber station building, showing the relative importance of freight and passenger traffic at the location. The station building has its own significance for the unusual design of the detached toilet block and the non standard design of the station building. The platform is also a rare surviving timber faced platform of low height.
