Nobelius Siding is situated on the Puffing Billy Railway in Emerald. The siding was built in 1904[1] to serve the adjacent packing shed, built in the same year, from which nursery seedlings and plants were shipped throughout Australia by C.A. Nobelius' Gembrook Nurseries.[2] The Nobelius nursery was once the largest plant nursery in the Southern Hemisphere with 200,000 trees grown on 180 hectares.[3]
The Packing Shed has been restored by Puffing Billy volunteers and is now used by the Railway as a function centre, particularly as a venue for Puffing Billy’s various evening dining experiences, such as "Murder on the Puffing Billy Express".[4]
