Mary Valley Rattler
Details
Hours: Daily
Toot! Toot! All aboard the Mary Valley Rattler, a beautifully restored fleet of heritage trains that will take you on a journey of discovery into the country through a bygone era. The Rattler, a steam locomotive with gorgeous timber carriages, winds throughout the picturesque mountains, farms, bridges and waterways of the Mary Valley.
Starting from the lovingly refurbished Historic Gympie Station, just 40 minutes from Noosa, hop on-board the Rattler for a journey through country towns and an adventure into history. The 46km round trip chugs into Amamoor, a gorgeous town in the heart of the Mary Valley.
Watch the fascinating process as the restored turntable turns the steam engine around, ready for its return trip.
Have your photo taken with the drivers and the steam engine, and spend time exploring historic Amamoor Station.
Steam train experiences depart once a day on Wednesdays, Saturdays and Sundays. You can even travel in style in the VIP Club Car with a local cheese plate and beverage of choice. There’s also the Rattler Tasting Train, a celebration of local food and produce on-board a historic rail motor on Thursdays.
At Historic Gympie Station, make sure you take the time to see the historic display, gift shop and the Rusty Rails Cafe with dine-in and takeaway options.
Contact the Mary Valley Rattler to book your train journey into history.
