Step aboard a true Queensland icon and roll back in time on the Mary Valley Rattler, travelling on a heritage steam train from Gympie to Amamoor return, with wide-open country views. Departing from historic Gympie Station, this beautifully restored steam train winds its way through the lush Mary Valley, passing rolling farmland and sleepy hinterland scenes before reaching the country township of Amamoor. Hunker in for an easy-going journey where families reconnect, travellers slow down, and every whistle and turn of the track feels like a nod to the past.

Settle in with a freshly baked scone snack and bottled water as you relax into the rhythm of the rails, taking in the sights, sounds and nostalgia of classic rail travel. Take home a souvenir Rattler coin and cooler bag to remember your day, and allow time to wander the station precinct, home to a heritage museum, café and gift shop. Whether you're chasing a bit of history or a laid-back day out, experience country Queensland at its most charming with this unique three-hour train journey.
