GulfLander
Cairns
Our Gulflander drivers are accredited Savannah Guides which means that during your journey you will learn about the diverse Gulf landscape and its rich past. Fascinating trivia, amusing stories and colourful characters will make your journey an entertaining one.
Also known as the Tin Hare, this legendary rail motor follows the never connected line between Normonton & Croydon: sometimes the only thing moving in a place where time almost seems to stand still. From wetlands and grasslands to arid Savannah territory through cattle stations and past ancient geological formations, a half day Gulflander trip shows you countryside most visitors never see.
