About This Trail

This short rail trail shadows the main Brisbane-Cairns railway line between Landsborough and Mooloolah in a remnant forest area, the Dularcha National Park. It incorporates some of an alignment abandoned in 1931 when a flatter route was opened. It includes a 100 m tunnel constructed in 1890 to cut through the highest section. Access: The start of the trail is at the end of Cunningham Ave, Landsborough, where there is limited parking. It can be reached on foot from Landsborough Station. From Cunningham Ave, there’s a short path heading east to reach the railside trail section along the active line, most of which is securely fenced. The 1 km railside section is rough but the trail smoothes out when you reach the old railway alignment. The concrete-lined tunnel is reached after 2 km.
