Mary Valley Rattler Tours

There’s no better way to explore the Mary Valley than aboard the Mary Valley Rattler. Their unique heritage steam train has been lovingly restored and will transport you on a trip back through time as the Rattler steams through the scenic Mary Valley hinterland.

Find yourself rocking, rolling, and leaning into an abundance of gentle curves as the iconic steam train travels through the picturesque small town of Dagun on the journey to the historical town of Amamoor. This is a train trip you would have never experienced before!

Guests can design their own memorable experience on the Mary Valley Rattler. Choose your train journey from their fleet of heritage steam and diesel locomotives, or railmotors on the Classic Rattler Run, Ride with the Driver or Silver Bullet High Tea.

Then, continue your romance of the railway, upgrading your ride with a VIP experience package designed to suit the whole family – even your fur-friends are welcome to enjoy a magical day with Mary Valley Rattler.
