Thompson Pfitzner Rail Trail

The Stenhouse bay jetty and township and the Inneston township were developed in the early 1900s to support the mining of gypsum. The gypsum was mined at Inneston and transported on a horse drawn train to Stenhouse Bay jetty. The Thompson Pfitzner trail follows the gypsum railway line.

As the trail is located within the Dhilba Guuranda-Innes National Park, a park entry fee is payable at the park entry office. The office is located on the main road just before Stenhouse bay.

The trail is best travelled between Autumn and Spring when the weather is cooler. Spring is perhaps the best time as the wildflowers are in bloom

The trail commences just west of Stenhouse Bay on the Pondalowie Bay Road. There is a small car park on the right just past the National Park depot storage sheds. An original gypsum train carriage is located at the northern end of the car park.
