Gulflander

Discover the ever-changing landscapes of the Gulf Savannah aboard the Gulflander, travelling between Normanton and Croydon. The 1950s railmotor ventures through areas most people would never see, from wetlands and grasslands to the arid Savannah.

This heritage-listed railway line opened in 1891 to connect the once bustling port of Normanton to the gold fields of Croydon. Still measured in miles, the line was built to withstand almost anything – including floods and termites. The construction of the line is an ingenious engineering feat, and even today, retains most of the original rail and sleepers.

Your driver and guide will entertain and educate you along the way with unique insights about local history and points of interest. Step back in time aboard the Gulflander for a bucket-list rail experience, with full-day or shorter experiences available.
