Step back in time aboard the Mary Valley Rattler and discover the antique charm of heritage rail travel in Queensland. This classic train experience takes you on a roundtrip journey from the historic Gympie Station on Tozer Street to Amamoor, aboard a lovingly restored steam or diesel locomotive. Settle into your seat and enjoy a relaxing ride through a pastoral expanse of natural scenery and vintage stations in the Mary Valley. Allow about three hours for the trip. Before or after your journey, take time to explore Gympie Station, which has been meticulously restored to its former glory, and learn the stories of the Mary Valley Rattler line, its people and its history. The popular Rusty Rails Cafe at the station offers a dine-in experience, or you can buy takeaway treats to enjoy on board, and you can even purchase a bottle of wine and a local cheese platter for the ride. The gift shop has a selection of local goodies, speciality giftware and souvenirs to help you remember the adventure. It is a relaxed day out for families, rail lovers and anyone who enjoys travelling at a gentler pace.
