Really nice day out. Great service from the start, with someone calling us and confirming the date as well as organising a table for us at the train station restaurant in Gympie. The staff on the train Graham and Marilyn were so welcoming and added to the fun. Thank you!

Should have done it years ago. Get on board!! What a fantastic way to spend a Sunday. Worth the upgrade to The Club Car. Special thanks to Courtney for making our journey that little bit more special.
