All aboard the legendary Gulflander
Discover the incredible Gulf Savannah country aboard the Gulflander, a 1950s railmotor, with experiences from Normanton or Croydon. From wetlands and grasslands to the arid Savannah, travel along a heritage-listed railway line unlike any other.
Affectionately known as the train that goes "from nowhere to nowhere”, the line first opened in 1891 to connect the once bustling port of Normanton to the gold fields of Croydon. It remains the only line in Queensland still measured in miles. The construction of the line is an ingenious engineering feat built to withstand almost anything – including floods, termites and the test of time. Even today, the line retains most of the original rail and sleepers.
A trip on the Gulflander is more than a rail journey – it's a living piece of Queensland history. A once in a lifetime experience for all ages, and a must-do when travelling in the Gulf Savannah region.
