A bit disappointed. Still worth going. Now just 90 minutes without any treadle bridges and tunnels. Looks like they are doing lots of repairs or worse to the engineering wonder. It used to go over the river twice but not now. We had two small aperture's, a drink and a free post card and pen. Beautiful carriage and great host but still disappointed. The train also leaves Queenstown at the other end of the line and it seemed they had a four hour trip possibly including the rack and pinion part of the track over the mountain. We paid AUS$80 and felt it good value but still it could have been so much better. We also went on diesel#1 with no sight of steam locos which may have got trapped at the other end of the line. " the track is always greener on the other end of the line" read more

One of the best experiences I have had in Tasmania. I went on the wilderness full day trip which included a glass of champagne, morning tea, cheese and cracks and later a lunch at Queenstown. I would highly recommend this adventure to everyone! read more
