This regular steam train journey
leaves from Ravenshoe Station, pulling its historic carriages
through open bushland and across trestle bridges to the little siding of
Tumoulin, at 960metres,(3160ft), the highest Railway Station in
Queensland.
Ravenshoe is famous for its timber industry, and during WWII was an
important training camp for many soldiers before embarking
for the Pacific war.
Ravenshoe is a picturesque country town, the highest in Queensland, on
the Evelyn Tablelands West of Cairns/Innisfail in Far North Queensland,
and is popular for its 'air-conditioned' climate, away from coastal
humidity in Summer and crisp Winters, giving the area a temperate ( four
seasons) climate in a tropical region.
