Description

The Valley Rattler Steam train, Gympie Gold Mining Museum, Woodworks Museum and the replica Mary Ann Steam locomotive join forces to hold a special steam and machine event.

This huge four day festival incorporates three venues demonstrating all aspects of Steam driven transport and industry. The Valley Rattler Steam Train trip departs daily for half day scenic tours down through the beautiful Mary Valley to the small country town Amamoor, with great views, markets and with a stopover at Dagun Station on the way back for the local wine and cheese tasting.
