#AUSTRALIA #SAVANNAHLANDER

This video uses the video footage obtained from a camera mounted on the outside of the cab window. All sounds are the natural noises picked up by the camera with no commentary.

The day started with an early bush breakfast at the Undara Experience before travelling by bus to the Savannahlander, Mount Surprise station where our train was already waiting. Our driver/guides loaded a mountain of suitcases into the rear cab of the train and checked all passengers were on board and ready for the day ahead. This video covers the whole three hour leg along the Etheridge branch between Mount Surprise and Almaden.

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.
