Spring Bluff Railway Station today is a heritage listed site located on the main railway line between Ipswich and Toowoomba. Its significance stems from 140 years of railway history and the attraction of its beautiful landscaped gardens.
The Spring Bluff Railway Station site is maintained by a Trust (Spring Bluff Railway Station Trust) made up of Lockyer Valley Regional Council, Toowoomba Regional Council and Queensland Rail.
The two Councils provide funds to the management committee to manage and maintain the historic buildings, facilities and gardens. A caretaker lives onsite to maintain the wonderful gardens for the enjoyment of visitors.
Bookings are taken year-round for weddings and wedding photos alike for a small fee, with the location chosen by many brides for it picturesque setting. A cafe operates onsite from Friday to Sunday with Devonshire Tea a specialty. During the Toowoomba Carnival of Flowers, Spring Bluff is a hive of activity with trains running twice daily to the station.
'A must do' during Carnival week is to attend Big Band at the Bluff on the first Sunday of Carnival. This is a relaxing day taking in the stunning gardens while listening to the smooth sounds of the Jim Miller Big Band and enjoying a relaxing picnic in the park.
