Bundaberg railway station is a railway station on the North Coast railway line, Queensland. Bundaberg is serviced by several Queensland Rail passenger trains, including the Tilt Train and is approximately four and a half hours north of Brisbane by rail, a vast improvement on days gone by when Bundaberg was an overnight journey away.[1][2]

History

Bundaberg's first railway station, on the Mount Perry railway line, was built in 1881 as a transfer station to the Bundaberg docks for shipping coal from nearby mines.[3] It is now in use as a museum.
