Wacol railway station is located on the Main line in Queensland, Australia. It serves the Brisbane suburb of Wacol.
In 1998, the timber station building was replaced.[1] Bright murals depicting domestic wildlife, forests and farmlands have been painted on the walls of platforms buildings.[2] The animal theme was chosen because the RSPCA Animal Care Campus moved to Wacol in December 2011.
Services
