Tasmanian West Coast Wilderness Railway Journey

(Code : EX1009) Buy Gift Voucher | Book Now

Take a trip back in time to where men laboured through mud, rain and treacherous landscapes to forge a link between the mining town of Queenstown and the port of Strahan. The West Coast Wilderness Railway forms a gateway for visitors to explore Tasmania’s unique rail heritage, discovering the inspiring story of the pioneers who built the railway more than 100 years ago.

This is one of the world’s great train journeys that travels through majestic wilderness. Along the way you will enjoy interpretive commentary and on-board guides and you will be able to learn about Historic steam locomotives and the unique Abt rack and pinion system.

Along the 35km journey you will stop at stations of the past – Lower Landing, Dubbil Barril, Rinadeena – where your trained guides will bring to life the stories of these historic points on the railway.

From your comfortable seating and glassed-in rear doors with balcony, the view is spectacular as you pass over bridges towering above the rivers below, through massive hand-hewed rock cuttings, under the protective canopies of ancient rainforests and along the edge of plunging gorges.

If you are booking in the Premier Class carriage you will be able to indulge in pastries, Tasmanian wines and cheeses served by your dedicated guide in a carriage with superior comfort and its own balcony. All premier carriage tickets include bus return and souvenir guide book with our compliments.

For those booking the tourist pass lunch is included with morning departures, afternoon tea included with afternoon departures. Watch the wilderness pass by from your comfortable carriage lined in Tasmanian native timbers.
