The Classic Rattler Run takes you back in time to the heyday of the Mary Valley restored steam engine train. Leaving from the historic Gympie Station, you’ll travel in style with private seating in the VIP Club Car as you pass through the picturesque sights of Queensland’s Mary Valley. Sit back and enjoy the view, and you’ll be treated to a delicious local cheese and wine pack in the iconic Club Car. Queensland’s Mary Valley railway line was of great significance to the Gympie community and the restored train journey is run by a not-for-profit organisation for the preservation of heritage rail in Queensland. So your train ticket is not only an exhilarating, memorable experience, it also goes towards keeping this important piece of history alive.
