This approx 12km loop trail follows the signature section of the rail trail and is largely covered with dense rainforest providing plenty of cover and a large and diverse variety of flora for such a compact area.
Keep an eye out for the deep cuts in the rock faces that were made when the Wamuran to Kilcoy rail line was built; opening in December of 1913, and running in conjunction with the Caboolture line until it's eventually closure in 1964 and then more recently converted into a shared use track.
There is generally some good birdlife as well a few friendly goanna's to be found along the way.
More information:
At Woodford, 13km north west of Wamuran, a short section of the old line has been developed as a tourist railway. The original station buildings from both Wamuran and D'Aguilar can be found there. The 1km railway has been built to 2 foot (610mm) gauge and is based around locomotives from sugar cane lines. Trains operate on the 1st and 3rd Sunday of each month.
For more information see the Railway's Website.
