Beerwah, Rural town in Sunshine Coast Region, Australia
Beerwah extends across the hinterland landscape of the Sunshine Coast Region, with a population of 7,734 residents as recorded in 2021.
The Beerwah Post Office initiated its services in August 1907, following the establishment of a receiving office that had operated since 1891.
The name originates from the Kabi language Turrbal dialect word birrawaman, combining birra meaning sky and wandum meaning climbing up.
The town connects to major urban centers through the Beerwah railway station on the Nambour and Gympie North railway line.
The main road through Beerwah bears the name Steve Irwin Way, reflecting the presence of the Australia Zoo founded by the Irwin family.
