A heritage steam train that runs from the old Gympie station up the Mary Valley to the village of Amamoor and back, a round trip of about three and a half hours through farming country and pockets of subtropical rainforest. Trains run several times a week and most weekends.
It's a properly old-fashioned ride — wooden carriages, a working steam locomotive, plenty of whistle-blowing — and the highlight of a visit to Gympie for anyone with even a passing interest in railways.
