A manned station on the  Gladstone-Wilmington Line  until 1983 when all the station staff on the line were withdrawn.

Station and goods siding loops, a grain siding and a stockyard siding. A storage shed for bagged grain was also provided.

The Gladstone-Wilmington Line is unsignalled. Train Order working is in operation on the line.

There were no passenger services after 1969. The line was closed in 1990 and the track has since been removed. Now only the grain silos remain at the site of the former Wirrabara station and yard. A short section of track has been preserved at the northern (Wilmington) end of the yard which originally had an SAR 7550 Brake Van on display but vandalism eventually forced this to be moved to the Pichi Richi Railway Preservation Society at Quorn.
