Our group enjoyed a tasty lunch at the Einasleigh Pub and the more energetic strolled down to the Copperfield River Gorge to look for wildlife and take a few photographs. We returned to our train where the drivers said they were happy to do a photo run past across the the Copperfield River bridge for those wishing to take photos of our train on the bridge, an opportunity too good to miss. After the run past the photographers boarded the train for the run to Mount Surprise, passing through pleasant outback scenery, crossing the occasional dried up river bed and witnessing the behaviour of suicidal kangaroos.
Here is a little information about the train, mostly courtesy of Wikipedia -
The service was introduced on 3 April 1995 by Queensland Rail to replace the Forsayth Mixed (marketed as the 'Last Great Train Ride'). The line was closed from Mareeba to Mount Surprise at the same time. It was initially run with a 2000 class railmotor set that was refurbished at Townsville Workshops. Initially this service only ran on the Mount Surprise to Forsayth section of the Etheridge line. However, after an upgrade of the line for sugar syrup trains from Cairns to Arriga, and a limited restoration of the rest of the line, the railmotor started travelling from Cairns to Forsayth in September 1998. In 2004 it was decided to put the running of the train out to tender and the winning bid was submitted by “Cairns Kuranda Steam Pty Ltd”. Please listen to the commentary to hear more about “Cairns Kuranda Steam” and how it came to be running the Savannahlander.
