Escape the coast and immerse yourself in the breathtaking beauty of the Sunshine Coast hinterland. Our all-inclusive Mary Valley Tour offers the perfect blend of nostalgic rail travel, gourmet local tastings, and serene nature walks.

Your Scenic Hinterland Itinerary

• Gympie Station & The Mary Valley Rattler: Step back in time at the historic Gympie Station. Board the iconic Mary Valley Rattler classic steam locomotive for a nostalgic one-hour journey to Amamoor. 🚂
• Charming Imbil: Take a scenic drive to Imbil, one of Queensland’s most picturesque tiny towns, and enjoy panoramic views from the lookout.
• Gourmet Kenilworth: Indulge in a delicious lunch and drink in Kenilworth. Save room to explore the local shops filled with famous artisanal cheeses, chocolates, and decadent doughnuts! 🍩
• Guided Fig Tree Walk: Walk amongst giants on an optional, flat 1.2km paved walk through a forest alive with birdsong, or relax by the peaceful creek. 🌳

Special Heritage Experience (February & March 2027)

During February and early March 2027, the Classic Rattler steam locomotive will be receiving maintenance and replaced with the historic Silver Bullet rail motor for your one-way train ride, before we pick you up from Amamoor Station to continue our tour through the Mary Valley.

This Silver Bullet rail motor service will include a complimentary souvenir—a memento of your scenic adventure, as well as a delicious station made sweet treat, as you sip on a steaming cup of tea or coffee on the train.

Apart from this change of train type, the remainder of our tour will operate as per usual.
