This might be stretching the "station or signal box" thing a bit, but...
State Mine (nr. Wonthaggi)

State Mine is correct. I didn't think that anything was being stretched - in 1965 or so I spent an enjoyable hour in the signal box there after riding in the cab of a J class on the roadside goods.
You question JoM

I didn't realise that there was a State Mine signal box. That's fair enough then.
My question...
Entertainer heading east

Love a good cryptic conundrum.
Off the top of my head, I can only think of:
Quambatook

No to Quambatook (and could you explain how you thought it fitted?).

No, not Dawson (whoever that represents).
The entertainer concerned was quite popular about 60 years ago. (And no, I don't remember him; I'm not that old. But I've read about him.)

If I am permitted another go..
60 years ago, and east, hmm, the only thing I can come up with is somewhere in Dame Nellie territory:
Yarra Glen

No, not Yarra Glen.
Sometimes I think that there is a very fine line between too easy and too hard.
I'll give one more clue and then the point will go to me because nobody got a correct answer (if nobody does after this clue).
The entertainer's first name was Roy (but Roy is not part of the answer).
