Queensland Rail is Australia`s premier passenger railway operator. With over 125 years’ experience, Queensland Rail deliver some of the most amazing and memorable rail journeys in the world.

Queensland Rail`s scenic rail services in North Queensland provide the ultimate means of travelling through particularly remote and unique natural landscapes, including the lush, world heritage listed rainforest and cascading waterfalls of the Barron Gorge and the unexplored, rustic terrains of Queensland`s Gulf country.

Traveltrain`s oldest rail service of Queensland Rail`s fleet, the Gulflander, travels inland from the coast of the Gulf of Carpentaria. The Gulflander travels between the Outback North Queensland towns of Normanton and Croydon, 140 kilometres in distance each week.

Offering a fascinating experience to passengers, the Gulflander travels through some of the most remote and inaccessible countryside on the Queensland map. It remains the only railway line which has never been linked to the main Queensland Rail network.

Gulflander - QR Traveltrain Services

Gulflander

Venturing from Normanton inland from the coast of Gulf of Carpentaria, the Gulflander travels to Croydon 140 kilometres through remote and inaccessible countryside on the Queensland map. This is old gold territory with a history to match the incredible terrain. Opened in 1891 to join Normanton to the teeming Croydon goldfields, the line has never been linked to the main Queensland Rail network. Also unique to this service is the man behind the train, Ken Millard who as well as driving the Gulflander, fulfils the roles of Officer in Charge, Normanton and Croydon Station Master Ticket Clerk, Gardener as well as providing a trackside commentary on each departure!
