Bally Hooley - Heritage Steam Train Trip - Port Douglas

There’s not many rail journeys left in the world where your nose is filled with the tendrils of smoke freshly made by the coal-fired engine of a historic steam train or where your ears are surprised by the shrill “toot” of an old fashioned train whistle. Your journey will take you steaming and tooting from the Marina Station, located just near the Reef Marina, through some of the most attractive lesser-visited areas along the outskirts of Port Douglas. Your trip will will take one hour and along the way you might see some of the local wildlife. A basking resident crocodile that sometimes lounges alongside the lake at St. Crispin’s, spouting archer fish, low flying squawking white cockatoos, the strutting figure of a quirky Curlew and the loud caws of squabbling, colourful rainbow lorikeets in the branches overhead are just some local natural wonders. This is a highly memorable and unique experience for adults and children of any age and one that will be remembered for years to come by all the family.

There are some people that just cannot miss their weekly game of golf even when they are on a holiday. Luckily Port Douglas has some very good links courses, international standard championship courses and some just pretty little hacking golf courses.
