Australian Sugarcane Railway Train
An ideal way to view the gardens, lakes and wildlife is riding in a steam or diesel train carriage hauled by the authentic cane locos once used in the sugar industry. The Australian Sugar Cane Railway takens you on a 2km journey through the gardens and is disability & wheelchair friendly.
The Australian Sugar Cane Railway aims to restore, maintain and operate locomotives which were used to haul sugar cane within the Bundaberg Region, providing a glimpse back in time to the machinery used by the pioneering families of the Bundaberg Region.
Days and times of operation are subject to change.
Tickets are available for purchase from the ticket window at the station platform within the gardens. Please note, they do not have EFTPOS facilities & accept cash only.
