The journey, in full
Our Classic Rattler Run takes passengers on an exciting adventure on our C17 steam train from Gympie Station through the scenic Mary Valley and the remarkable small town of Dagun, before arriving at the Amamoor Heritage Station. It’s here where the Rattler makes its turn around on the restored turntable. Choose to stay and watch this interesting process or get out and explore the quaint community of Amamoor. Did you know that this historic town is bordered by Amamoor State Forest, which is home to more than 120 species of birds? We recommend you hop off and see how many you can spot!
