Information

See the Gulf landscape from a new perspective when you travel. It's not just a train ride – it's a total outback experience.

Croydon is the rail depot and destination for the Gulflander train. Today it provides tourists with an historic journey through savannah country on original and unique termite resistant, heritage listed steel rails and sleepers. The Gulflander travels to the architectural award-winning reconstructed Croydon Station weekly, staying overnight Wednesday before returning to Normanton on Thursdays. Normanton was established in 1868 but became a land/seaport for wealthy Croydon when gold was discovered. The train carried goods, people and the gold itself.

The Gulflander runs weekly:

Departs Normanton on Wednesday 8.30am
Departs Croydon on Thursday 8.30am
