The Savannahlander

Get in touch

This unique outback rail experience departs Cairns weekly, winding its way through the wet tropics area of the Kuranda range and out through the Savannah country to Forsayth and back on one of their 4 day tours. Highly personalised, you will enjoy the tour alongside our drivers in the 1960's classic "silver-bullet" railmotors.

With options for short tours including visits to Chillagoe Cavees, Cobbold Gorge, Undara Lava Tubes and Talaroo Hot Springs, this is a must-do tour. A relaxed pace, great company and travelling in style through country you will never forget.
