Doesn't make a lot of sense, that heading, but it sounded good. And Amamoor was indeed a delicious surprise when we got there. Just don't drink the coffee.
It's a tiny settlement 20km south of Gympie, and it's the turnaround station for the fabulous Mary Valley Rattler, sometimes known as the Spirit of the Mary Valley.
The heritage tourist train goes pretty well daily, as far as I could make out from its rather opaque website. And it tends to leave Gympie at 10am, arrives at Amamoor about 11am, and then spends about an hour turning around and giving its passengers a leg stretch, before rounding them up again and heading back.
I'd decided it would save a lot of trouble and expense if we just turned up at Amamoor for the 11am turnaround show. And I was right!
