Menzies Creek Station was opened with the line on 18 December 1900. It was named after an early settler Mr. John Menzies. On 5 December 1904 it was renamed Aura, after the estate of the Shire President. The station reverted to its previous name on 4 July 1947.

When the station was operating under the V.R. it had a loop siding, a standard portable station building, and a goods shed.

These days, Menzies Creek has an island crossing platform with a track on each side, a loop siding and also a siding into the museum. The station now is home to the "Aura Tearooms", the Puffing Billy Narrow Gauge Museum (currently closed), and also boasts a Signal-box which is the centrepiece of the recently upgraded signalling arrangements.
