Better than expected! A pleasant and scenic day out. There are half day and full day trips depending on the day of the week. We did the full day return trip to Imbil. The on board narration provided by the attendant was quite entertaining. The lunch stop at Imbil was of a good length. Very friendly locals too!

Very relaxing and enjoyable. The scenery through the valley was excellent.

We loved the Mary Valley Heritage Railway. My wife, myself, and our 5-year-old did the half-day journey, and it was a blast. The railroad was wonderful, and the staff were incredibly friendly. The scenery was lovely, and the whole trip was a great experience. It's rare to find a true steam locomotive, and this was a fine one. I'd recommend... More
