pichi richi railway印象
-
Travelling through the beautifull flinders in winter when the countrys so grean and the streams are running is a gem

We took the return journey from Quorn. Everything ran smoothly and to time. It's great to be able to take a proper steam train ride. The volunteers do an excellent job, and the section from Quorn to the flat is scenic and interesting. A break for a snack or a drink and then back to Quorn. Their website for booking works well too.

a trip on the pichi pichi train brings back memories of the mid 1900's train travel with the sound from the wheels and sight of the ranges should encourage people to travel on this train to support the volunteers to provide a train trip for visitors to enjoy

Winter has to be the best time - I have now travelled on this train through three seasons now and the novelty never wears off! Wending its way through gorge and over stream, this is one of the world's best preserved railway lines in my opinion.

The Pichi Richi Railway, Quorn Railway Station, AG Williams Memorial railway workshops and associated museum shows the history of pioneers of the region. The railway was used during Australia's wartime effort in moving troops from southern Australia to Darwin demonstrating how important the railways were in criss-crossing the Australian landscape from north to south and east to west. The railway still runs and its worth taking a ride.

An excellent day out and an opportunity to meet some lovely people determined to enjoy themselves. A chance to relive the days of the narrow guage Ghan with vintage wooden carriages, steam, and occasionally, diesel locomotives, many of which used to work the line. The day trip from Port Augusta allows about 2 hours to explore Quorn.

The tourist brochures make much of this railway. that's why I elected to stay overnight in Quorn. Alas, you have to be there on the right day so don't hold your breath if you are simply touring South Australia and land in Quorn on the off-change. Sorry, calendar says 'No".

This is a fabulous heritage railway. Running only on Saturday evenings in November we were happy that our plans allowed us to travel on this line. Heritage diesel only at this time of year due to the danger of fire from steam but it was still very atmospheric. We booked tickets at the visitor centre in port Augusta and that worked very well. The fine station building also houses a small display on the railway and a very small shop with souvenirs. This is a really attractive line and the journey to woodshed flat was interesting. The train stops at woodshed flat and it was a missed opportunity not to have refreshments available there. However there are a limited range of drinks available for purchase on the train. Good photo opportunity. Journey back at twilight was good for kangaroo spotting. Well worth a detour if you are in the area but do check the timetable before making a special journey.

Nothing to dislike about this part of the world. Peaceful and quiet, plenty of photo opportunities, dependant on your own imaginations and tastes.

If you don't love steam trains stop reading...I have been wanting to go on this trip for a while. When my brother's family came up to visit, we took his son on the Pichi Richi and had a ball. The authentic historical steam engine pulled along equally authentic carriages. The train wound through a gap in the ranges, crisscrossing the main road between Port Augusta and Quorn. The mountains on both sides of the track provide beautiful cliffs, pines and gum trees. You might even be lucky enough to spot a kangaroo or emu along the way. The train stops after about an hour for refreshments at a canteen at the older railway station. While you are enjoying a welcome drink and something to eat (pies, pasties and sandwiches mainly) you can watch the men turn the engine around for the return trip back to Quorn.Although the fee for the ride is not especially expensive, for a two hour ride it is also not cheap. If you factor in lunch and travel, it could be a pricey day out, but one well worth it for locals and visitors alike.
