hen you consider Queensland rail travel, the Sunlander |
shines bright as one of Australia's longest running and most endearing railway tours. For fifty years, several times a week, The Sunlander has weaved
its way along Australia's incredible northeast coast.
To travel by rail on the Sunlander is a relaxing, comfortable journey that runs between Queensland's
tropical capital, Brisbane, and laid back Cairns, where the
Great Barrier Reef meets the timeless Daintree wilderness.
Your holiday experience aboard The Sunlander begins the moment
you step aboard and continues all the way. And like all Queensland rail travel, the surroundings
are comfy and cosy, and the ever-changing scenery is sensational,
it's the warmth and very social atmosphere that makes The
Sunlander so special. Some say you don't just take a journey
aboard The Sunlander, you share a lifelong experience with
new found friends.
Offering passengers a comfortable and affordable way to see
coastal Queensland, The Sunlander travels return from Brisbane
to Cairns three times a week... Optional railway tours can also be organised along the way... Contact us.
Tuesdays, Thursdays and Saturdays, the Sunlander meanders
its way through scenic, lush countryside of Queensland's coastal
towns until reaching its destination of Cairns. Passengers
travel in first or economy class. Sleeping berths and seating
is also available.
Families find the Sunlander a wonderful holiday experience
as it is great value for money, with on-board entertainment
provided for children during school holiday periods... And with large panoramic windows from which to view, you are
able to capture the true sense of life along the east coast
as The Sunlander travels along the lush coastline.
While on board there is plenty to amuse with air-conditioned
serviced bars, club cars and dining cars. Passengers can challenge
others on board to a friendly game of cards, watch a movie
or simply read.
As far as accommodation goes, The Sunlander gives you plenty
of choices, with single, twin, or triple berth sleepers and
general seating. And no matter where you are onboard, you're
never far from great food and refreshments... Whichever way
you choose to travel and see the colours of Queensland's coastline,
you'll be glad you took The Sunlander.  |
