Download coordinates as: Beerwah (/ˈbɪərwɑː, -wɔː/) is a rural town and locality in the hinterland of the Sunshine Coast Region, Queensland, Australia.

[4] It was formerly known as the Glasshouse Mountain Tourist Route and is accessed by the Bruce Highway, which bypassed the town in 1985.

[6] The Coochin Creek Provisional School opened on 27 November 1888 with an initial enrolment of 19 students under teacher William Verrants.

It was on the main Peachester road, 1.5 miles (2.4 km) from the Beerwah railway station.

[7] On 10 July 1952, another Coochin Creek State School opened, but it closed on 11 March 1962.

[8][9][10] On Saturday 26 September 1914, the local Anglican residents held a meeting to consider erecting a church in Beerwah.

[11] On Saturday 7 November 1914 Archdeacon Henry Le Fanu officially capped the first stump of the new church building.

[12] On Saturday 6 March 1916, Archdeacon Le Fanu returned to officially open and dedicate St James' Anglican Church.

[14] On 4 July 1991, the Mary MacKillop Catholic Centre was blessed and opened by Archbishop Francis Rush.

As part of that project, however, the original level crossing was closed and demolished, causing concern among local residents who claimed it sliced the town in two.

[29][33] The Sunshine Coast Regional Council operates a public library at 25 Peachester Road.

[citation needed] The Beerwah branch of the Queensland Country Women's Association meets at 39 Simpson Street.

Access to the Mount Beerwah summit route has been closed since 2008 due to the erosion and destabilization of some walking tracks, leading to a high risk of rock fall.
