The Savannahlander is a unique train journey which begins in Cairns , Australia. It is one of the great rail experiences of the world as it rattles its way from the coast, up the scenic Kuranda
Range (the Kuranda scenic railway) including stops at Barron Falls and
Stoney Creek, through World Heritage listed rainforests to Kuranda. It
then continues on through the savannah to outback Australia. The
Savannahlander is also a unique way to see the Chillagoe Caves , Cobbold Gorge and the Undara Lava Tubes .
"The Silver Bullet"
as the train is affectionately known, was state-of-the-art when it was
brought into service. Now it reflects the pace and grace of a by-gone
era, while at the same time offering a unique experience to people
adventurous enough to make the journey. This grand-old-lady travels at
a sedate pace, and stops at suitable locations for the driver to point
out interesting landscape features to the passengers. It's a unique and
comfortable way to see Australia's outback.
The Savannahlander operates for 42 Weeks of the year, 3th March until 15th December 2010.
