Rolling along ...



For a real rail experience, book yourself onto The Sunlander's premium all-inclusive Queenslander Class, enjoying first class Twin Sleeper accommodation, fine dining in the Restaurant Car, a Lounge and Bar, exceptional service and a host of other extra special touches.

It's a great place to meet some interesting people. I always make a point of talking to strangers. And I always seem to remember them and their words linger longer after they have gone. So much of life’s noisy detail fades so quickly, but the unforgettable strangers travel with us for the rest of our lives. It is the poetry of the road, from voices we have never heard before and perhaps will never hear again. Courage, kindness, humour and sometimes wisdom con flow from these chance meetings. The simple joys of life are shared along the way.


This beautiful, classic train meanders its way along Australia's incredible north-eastern coastline of the Gold and Sunshine Coasts in the south via tropical lowlands, mountain ranges, parklands and pure white sands to where the Great Barrier Reef meets the timeless Daintree Wilderness in the north.
