It would be very easy to miss this Community Commemorative plaque, as it above, and to the left of the main entrance to the Bomaderry Train Station platform, over two metres off the ground. It reads:

     Rail Transport
	Between
   Kiama & Bomaderry
2nd June 1893 to 2 June 1993
	& was presented to
    Mr A. Barber Station Master
	Bomaderry - Nowra
