Savannahlander Trip 2017
Here is a brief recap of our recent trip with the famous Savannahlander train. We met the train in Mt'Surprise, and journeyed on her through Einasleigh, and onwards to Forsayth. From Forsayth with the help of a 4WD courtesy bus, we were delivered to the beautiful and spectacular Cobbold Gorge.
Myself, wife and granddaughter, had the time of our lives, despite being just a relatively small getaway of just (4 ) days overall.
I encourage anyone, to take this wonderful journey on these 1960 / 1970's vintage trains, and see the Savannah / outback of North Western Queensland.

Savannahlander - Freshwater to Cairns
After being involved in a level crossing incident, the Savannahlander now films its approach and passage over level crossings. This video was taken during the camera test, and with the low evening light, we thought it would be okay for general publication. Just a warning to motorists - we won't be tolerating anyone running through the level crossing ahead of us, endangering our crew and passengers, We'll be taking numbers and reporting all breaches to the police.
Kuranda Scenic Railway | Freshwater station to Kuranda | Cairns, Queensland, Australia
The Kuranda Scenic Railway is a railway line that runs from Cairns, Queensland, Australia, over the Great Dividing Range to the town of Kuranda. The tourist railway snakes its way up through the Macalister Range on the Cairns-to-Kuranda railway line which is no longer used for regular commuter services, but instead operates as a tourist service, operating every day of the year, except Christmas Day. It passes through the suburbs of Stratford, Freshwater (stopping at Freshwater railway station) and Redlynch before reaching Kuranda. The line is used for some freight services and other passenger services, such as The Savannahlander.
The railway is 37 km (23 mi) in length.[1] It takes about one hour and 55 minutes to climb one way including the stop off at the falls.[2]
