Let’s make the most of our final day onboard the train. Once again you can choose your own adventure, this time we find ourselves in Coffs Harbour. One option is to take in the beauty of the rainforest from Sealy Lookout Forest Sky Pier and have a guided or self-guided tour of the Regional Botanic Garden, home to exotic plants from sub-tropical regions of the world. Another option is a guided bike tour alongside the Coffs River in which you can learn about the eco system and overlook the Solitary Islands National Park from North Point Lookout. You may otherwise choose to visit the seaside town, Urunga, to stroll along the beautiful coastal boardwalk with your local Indigenous guide to interpret the unique eco system. Learn about the rich cultural history of the Gumbaynggirr people during this wonderful intersection of nature and culture. Finally, there is an optional upgrade available which will take you on a hinterland helicopter flight*. View the diverse landscape of mountains and sea from above. This breathtaking flight will give you a birds eye view of the coastline, hinterland and Great Dividing Range. Lunch is aboard the train, so make sure you soak up all that the train has to offer before we arrive at our last stop in Brisbane.
