Easter Express- Departs Sunday 31st March Gympie to Amamoor (Return) 

The Mary Valley Rattler is one of Queensland’s most iconic heritage steam train experiences, capturing the Gympie region’s rich history while offering visitors a contemporary tourism attraction and the beauty of the spectacular Mary Valley landscape.

This 3 hour, 40km journey, in a beautifully restored C17 steam train, is an iconic experience like no other.
