Discover Queensland's Beauty with Gulflander

With simple Gulflander options online, you can secure your seat aboard this legendary ride through the Gulf Savannah. It’s not just a trip, it's a nostalgic journey through time, terrain, and true Australian history. Step into a different era as you ride the iconic Gulflander affectionately dubbed the ‘Tin Hare’ and experience one of Australia’s most unique rail adventures. This isn’t just a train trip; it’s a moving piece of history rolling through the untamed heart of the Gulf Savannah.

Running between Normanton and Croydon, this charming heritage rail motor travels a line like no other. Completely disconnected from the Queensland state rail network and still measured in miles, the Normanton to Croydon line is a rare gem a true time capsule of the past. It’s often said the Gulflander runs “from nowhere to nowhere,” but what lies in between is everything.

As the train glides from lush wetlands to sweeping grasslands and into the golden hues of the arid savannah, you’ll witness landscapes few ever get to explore. This journey isn’t just scenic it’s soulful. Every mile tells a story of pioneering spirit, rich cultural heritage, and raw natural beauty.
