Nambour, situated in the Sunshine Coast Region of Queensland, is known for its rich railway history and infrastructure. The area is part of the South East Queensland rail network, which extends from Brisbane and encompasses 153 stations. Managed by Queensland Rail and coordinated by Translink, the railway system offers suburban and interurban passenger services in the region.
A significant aspect of Nambour's railway heritage is the Moreton Central Sugar Mill Cane Tramway. This heritage-listed tramway, with a narrow-gauge track of 2 feet, connects the Moreton Central Sugar Mill to the resort areas of Coolum and Maroochydore. The tramway is a rare showcase of Queensland's cultural heritage, as it passes through the town center, a unique feature for a cane tramway. A popular tourist attraction, the tramway is also a highlight of the annual cane harvest festivals, offering visitors a glimpse into the region's history and heritage.
