West Coast Wilderness Railway 4.5 hours

West Coast Wilderness Railway Come and ride the railway that refused to die. All aboard!

The historic 35 kilometer railway of tight curves and spectacular bridges clambers through rugged wilderness, dense rainforest and steep gorges, a legacy to the engineering skills, determination and endurance of the early 19th century West Coast pioneers who built it. Since 1896, the railway has hauled copper concentrates from the Queenstown mines to the port of Strahan, providing the only access and lifeline for the communities along the way.

Closed down in 1963, the railway returned to nature and slumbered for 37 years, to be reawakened with a restoration of similar magnitude to its original construction. Once again, trains are running between Queenstown and Strahan, using the extraordinary rack and pinion third rail Abt system to conquer the mountainous terrain.

A lunch stop in the heart of the dense forest at Dubbil Barril allows passengers to wander along forest paths, discover remote creeks running down to the King River. There to see first hand the beauty of the majestic wilderness rain forest.

Trains run one way daily leaving Strahan or Queenstown. Optional coach shuttles are available for the return journey. Join the train seated in "tourist" cars that feature natural Tasmanian timbers. The train will meet at Dubbil Barril where Fettlers lunches or afternoon teas are available from the train, or why not try 'Dotties' coffee shop in Queenstown for a fine selection of light refreshments, before or after your journey. All refreshments are at your own cost.
