The Boyland Railway Station Closed in 1955.

The Boyland railway station was part of the Canungra branch railway, which connected Logan Village to Canungra in South East Queensland.

The station was named after George Boyland, who served as chairman of the Tamborine Shire Council from 1907 to 1908 and was a strong advocate for the railway’s construction.

The Canungra railway line was approved by the Queensland Government on 5th December 1911, after years of lobbying by local councils and timber industry leaders.

Construction began in September 1913, and the line officially opened on 2 July 1915. Boyland station was one of several stops along the route.

The station included a station building, cream shed, goods shed, and stockyards, supporting both passenger and freight services. Farmers used it to send cream to Kingston butter factory and livestock to Brisbane markets, while timber was transported to Lahey’s sawmill in Canungra.

The railway was vital for local agriculture and timber industries. It also provided occasional passenger services for special events. Boyland Post Office operated nearby from 1915 (receiving office) and officially opened in 1927, closing in 1945.

With improved road infrastructure and declining timber traffic, the railway’s importance diminished after World War II.

The Canungra branch line, including Boyland station, was closed on 1 July 1955, and the tracks were removed. Station buildings were sold off.

Today, the site of Boyland railway station is marked by the small plaque along Biddaddaba Road.
