Geebung is a suburb of northern Brisbane, Australia. It is centred around its railway station on the Caboolture railway line. The suburb is named after the Geebung tree of the genus Persoonia which was previously known as the Geebong. The name change came about due to handwritten addresses on letters being incorrectly sent to Geelong.

Transport

Geebung railway station and Sunshine railway station provides access to regular Citytrain services to Brisbane and Ipswich, as well as Caboolture and the Sunshine Coast.
