Step onboard the West Coast Wilderness Railway’s heritage Drewry diesel train at Regatta Point Station in Strahan and head deep into the rainforest, while onboard guides share stories of those who built the railway and called it their home.

Journey over the Iron Bridge at Teepookana, once a thriving port town, and admire the innovation and spirit that drove those that built this icon in the late 19th century.

Alight the train at Lower Landing Station, around 50 minutes train journey from Strahan. Meander towards the river and chat with onboard stewards waiting to share information with you on local flora and life along the railway during the 19th and 20th centuries.

Heritage carriage passengers may wish to purchase snacks and beverages at the kiosk at Lower Landing Station and enjoy the peaceful surrounds.

Wilderness carriage passengers are invited to start their journey with a glass of Tasmanian sparkling wine or juice and indulge in a locally inspired light menu included in the ticket price.

Operation information

West Coast Wilderness Railway

Tasmania’s West Coast Wilderness Railway combines a heritage railway journey with the region’s pioneering history on the remote and wild West Coast of lutruwita/Tasmania. Disembark at remote stations and engage in a diverse array of things to do, such as honey tasting or panning for gold, or just drink in the environment that surrounds you.

When booking your rail journey, you are offered a choice of two comfortable carriage types. Heritage Carriages provide upholstered seating and snacks available for purchase along the way, whilst Wilderness Carriages offer fully inclusive catering and a welcoming glass of Tasmanian sparkling wine onboarding and access to the carriage balcony.

Onboard guides provide live commentary and will share fascinating stories of the hardships of the railway’s construction and the men, women, and children that called the surrounding rainforest their home.
