History

In January 1904, a horse broke free near the station and was killed after being carried by the engine over the railway bridge.[1]

After a requests request for a weigh bridge by the Coomera Progress Association in 1907, one was promised by the Commissioner for Railways in 1922.[2][3]

The Goods shed was damaged by fire in August 1922.[4]

The safe was stolen in August 1937, before being found submerged in a creek at Kingston.[5][6] A 25 year old labourer was charged and later sentenced to three years imprisonment with hard labour.[7][8]
