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.[1] It is now in use as a museum. The station has one side platform and a south facing bay platform. A yard exists opposite the station.
