Mary Valley Rattler VIP Shared Booth Experience

Step aboard Queensland's historic Mary Valley Rattler for a premium rail adventure through the scenic Mary Valley countryside. This exclusive VIP experience places you in a comfortable shared booth aboard a lovingly restored steam train, complete with a 2-course meal and regional cheese plate. The 40-kilometre round trip journey from Gympie to Amamoor offers both relaxation and a unique taste of local heritage.

Your day begins with priority preboarding and a special meeting with the train driver for a behind-the-scenes welcome. As the vintage locomotive sets off from Gympie's heritage station, you'll settle into your reserved booth while taking in sweeping views of rural Queensland's fertile valleys and charming small towns. The rhythmic chug of the engine and the whistle's call create an authentic steam train atmosphere.
