Spend a day reminiscing or creating new memories on the Spirit of the Mary Valley.

The journey through the Mary Valley passes through the picturesque small town of Dagun. Nestled in the centre of the Mary Valley, Amamoor is an historic town bordered by Amamoor State Forest which is home to more than 120 species of birds. Here the train will turn around on the restored turntable. You can watch this fascinating process or explore the quaint community of Amamoor.

Join us on Wednesday's, Saturday's for the Classic Rattler Run or Sunday's for the All Statiosn Train.

Did you know we have an all access carriage?

Carriage 1071 dates back to 1924 and required extensive renovation to become railworthy.

The sympathetic restoration has been designed to preserve the changes throughout its history, while adding new access ramps.

Built originally to house up to 90 passengers on cross bench seats in nine compartments, the new configuration is a far more spacious 56 seats, with four dedicated and fully-equipped wheelchairs spaces.

The restoration was undertaken in the Old Gympie Workshops by a local carpenter, with the assistance from a wide range of volunteers.

Please contact us on (07) 5482 2750 to ensure availability for your travel date if wheelchair access is required.
