They shall grow not old, as we that are left grow old;
Age shall not weary them, nor the years condemn.
At the going down of the sun and in the morning
We will remember them.
Lest we forget
Thank you Gympie Real Treasure for the photo.

Mother nature has not been kind to events & activities in the Gympie Region this weekend.
For the safety of our guests & team, the river heights have yet again led to cancelling today's Steam Service.
All guests are being contacted.
Our Rusty Rails Café will be open.
The safety of our team & guests is our number one priority.
We have been monitoring the river heights throughout the night & on further inspection this morning the river is still rising.
We have cancelled today's Steam Service.
Our Rusty Rails Café is open & the coffee is hot.
