Beerburrum is a small town in South-East Queensland, Australia. It is located close to the Glass House Mountains 60 km north of the state capital, Brisbane, in the Sunshine Coast local government area. The name is derived from that of a nearby mountain, Mount Beerburrum: in the language of the Indigenous Kabi nation, bir means green parrot and burru mountain.[2] At the 2006 census, Beerburrum had a population of 287.[1] The village was bypassed by the Bruce Highway in the early 1970s, and that road was itself superseded by the current alignment in 1985.
