The Mary Valley Rattler is a heritage steam train based in Gympie, about a half hour drive from Rosecliffe Farm Cottages.
The journey begins at the historic Gympie Railway Station and winds along the steep slopes of the Mary River, offering spectacular views over dairies, livestock farms and the pineapple and macadamia crops of the Mary Valley below.
With its many curves, gradients and bridges, it's a beautiful way to see the valley, and a bit of rural Queensland history, unfold.
