Spring Bluff Railway Station today is a heritage listed site located on the main railway line between Ipswich and Toowoomba. Its significance stems from 130 years of railway history and the attraction of its landscaped gardens.
Back in 1914, Queensland Railways launched a garden competition to encourage railway staff to beautify the stations and grow vegetables. The gardens were tended for many years, but fell into disrepair until the early 1960s. The gardens and surrounds are now beautifully maintained and over the years have won awards in the annual Carnival of Flowers competition.
The beautiful gardens and grounds of the Spring Bluff Railway Station are open to the public all year.
Why not Picnic in the Park? The grounds are open for visitors to enjoy a picnic or barbecue (check for local fire hazard warnings) or perhaps a visit to the Spring Bluff Cafe for coffee and a delicious treat might be more to your liking. The Cafe is open Thursday to Sunday from 10.00 a.m. to 5.00 p.m. (open every day during September).
Getting married? Spring Bluff Railway Station has been the venue for many weddings over the years and the quaint country-feel to the Station certainly lends itself to being one of the most romantic outdoor wedding venues in the Region. Perhaps you would like to have your wedding photos taken at the Station – what a magical setting!
Whatever the reason for visiting Spring Bluff Railway Station – a picnic, coffee at the cafe, an outing with the family, a wedding, or just relaxing in the peaceful surrounds – they'll guarantee you'll want to come back for the Spring Bluff experience.
