This small two- or three-carriage train heads out across the savannah country from Cairns to Forsayth on a four-day round trip, allowing you to get off at towns and see key places, such as Undara, along the way. You can sit next to the train driver, who will even stop the train for you if you want to get out and have a look at something. There are fully catered four-day options, with tours, meals and accommodation included, or cheaper options where you bring your own tent. Book well ahead for the trips with accommodation.
