After easing into the uphill sections between Warwick (1,492ft), and Silverwood (1,913ft), we leave civilisation and wind up past sandstone ruins of Spring and Mineral Creek bridges before a short stop to check the locomotive before passing through the two tunnels on the line.

After this brief pause, it’s time to enjoy the spectacular views as we climb the Silverwood range to Dalveen where we pass The Summit (3,035ft), the highest QR station. Since leaving Warwick, we have risen 1,543 feet in the space of 32 miles. After passing The Summit we coast down into Stanthorpe for a 30 minute stop.

Morning tea on the Stanthorpe platform then onto the bus for a tour throughout Stanthorpe then onto the Girraween National Park, granite belt country. Lunch is included then back down to Stanthorpe.

We will depart here at 4.00pm to make our way back down the range with a setting sun before we arrive back in Warwick at 6.30pm.

Please plan to arrive at the Warwick Railway Station, Brosnan Cres Warwick at lease 30 minutes before departure..
