Story

The West Coast Wilderness Railway operates a tourist steam train offering a range of full and half day journeys along a 35km stretch of track between Queenstown and Strahan on Tasmania's wild West Coast.

Step back in history and climb aboard a majestic steam train at Queenstown Station.

Established in the late 1890s to transport minerals from the mines at Queenstown to the port at Strahan, the railway passes through dense temperate rainforest and steep gorges, offering glimpses of Tasmania's rugged wilderness from the comfort of a warm carriage pulled by a heritage steam locomotive.

Journey deep into the heritage of the wild West Coast, where tales of resilience and triumph showcase the iconic local spirit.

Discover how the Feud of the Irishmen helped shape the rugged and isolated region.

The West Coast Wilderness Railway is a must do experience.

Reviews

The staff are so friendly and you can find gold. The views are incredible and you lern so much about the history of the railway. You get to watch them turn the front of the train around manually and the seats are comfortable, it's a long train ride and it won't always be on time, when I went on it it was 30 minutes late. I definitely recommend going there and if you are a photographer there's a balcony at the end of the train where you can take photos.

A great little train trip however Too expensive .. Not really in the average family price range.. They need to put on specials or run half trips..  Need to look after the locals better and give half price fares for them or concessions on families..  Otherwise it's a great little train

Great historical railway with lovely staff. Eventhough the weather was far from optimal we had a great time and enjoyed the trip very much. The history of this town and the railway itself is very interesting and it's fun to see the old locomotives operate.

Qweenstown is the most intriguing place I've ever seen! If winters wouldn't exist I would definitely move there for the rest of my life 😊
