Beerwah is a railway station operated by Queensland Rail on the Nambour/Gympie North line. It opened in 1890 and serves the Sunshine Coast town of Beerwah. It is a ground level station, featuring two side platforms.
History
Due to white-ant damage to the old building, the station underwent a major facelift with construction of a new station office, waiting shelters, bus shelters and carpark.
Services
Beerwah is serviced by Citytrain network services to Brisbane, Nambour and Gympie North.[1] To relieve congestion on the single track North Coast line, the rail service is supplemented by a bus service operated by Kangaroo Bus Lines on weekdays between Caboolture and Nambour as route 649.[2]
