21.01.2022 "My father, Ted Jelich, is a locomotive driver for the Kuranda Scenic Railway and as a little girl I would wave from the platform as he took off blowing the whistle. Now here I am today as his 26-year-old daughter representing Queensland Rail Travel and working alongside him, I still run out to the platform and wave as he takes off driving the train it’s a special highlight of my day." - Emily Jelich

08.01.2022 Keiran and his two boys recently travelled aboard Kuranda Scenic Railway, and were rather fond of their trip. Here's what he had to say: "I've been fascinated with this train adventure since I was a kid. And I've done it a number of times over the years. So it was a thrill to finally take my own two 'train mad' boys on this rail journey from Cairns to Kuranda. They loved the carriages, the colourful diesel locomotives, the fifteen tunnels and spectacular views as the train slowly climbed up the range to Kuranda. A definite highlight of our week in Cairns!" - Keiran Lusk Photography

01.01.2022 Thanks for your review of Gold Class on Tripadvisor Michelle! "...The Gold Class experience was well worth the price, which included Queensland wines and produce. The carriage is beautifully decorated and maintained and provided a real sense of heritage! The trip itself was spectacular and Queensland Rail’s recording, which points out key features and the history of the rail construction, was outstanding. Vivienne was a lovely hostess and we really enjoyed her company! A ‘must do’!" Leave your review on Tripadvisor here http://bit.ly/2JWYeO
