Rack and Gorge Train Journey

The Rack and Gorge train journey was amazing. We paid for the wilderness carriage which came with food.
The carriage had padded seats with a balcony on the back of the carriage.
We were greeted with bubbles on boarding and canapes. On our first stop we tried our hand at gold panning. (No we didn't make our millions)
When we got back on board we had morning tea of scones with jam and cream, lunch was chicken with roasted sweet potato and a roll.
We had two more stops and a chance to have a walk. The last stop included turning the engine around.
Sweets were Valhalla icecream (Tassie brand and so delicious) and before disembarking we had a chocolate truffle.
We waddled off the train and walked back to our van.
The guide was very knowledgeable and we learnt all about Queenstown and the mining accident that killed 42 men.Read more
