Yea is a former railway station in Yea, Victoria, Australia. The tracks have been removed and the railway reserve has been turned into the Yea Railway Park.
The park includes the historic railway station and about five hectares of parkland. It has a picnic shelter, barbecue, toilets, playground, skatepark, walking track and community reserve, and includes a Rotary park. The station building houses Blackthorn Textiles (a privately-run craft shop). Also on the site are the former goods shed which is available for hire. The Yea Country Market is held in the park on the first Saturday of each month, and local artists hold an exhibition and sale in the goods sheds each Easter.
The site is listed on the Victorian Heritage Register.[1]
