The Queensland Pioneer Dinner Train

All aboard The Queensland Pioneer Dinner Train for an unforgettable 2-hour fine dining dinner experience in beautifully restored former Sunlander carriages, departing Swanbank Station on Saturday, January 24.

Your journey begins at historic Swanbank Station at 5pm where you will be greeted with a complimentary glass of bubbly, before you step back in time to the golden age of onboard rail dining for a 5.40pm departure.

Relax in the air-conditioned comfort of the Sunlander's iconic vintage dining carriages as you savour a three-course, Neo-French-inspired menu, from Haig Road Bistro of Auchenflower.

Enjoy full table service as you indulge in the personally curated menu, crafted from bespoke course selections and prepared onboard by Haig Road Bistro’s acclaimed, European-trained chef.

All the while, take in the natural beauty of the region as your restaurant on rails gently meanders through historic landscapes, offering glimpses of Ipswich’s rich mining heritage and grand historic homes as well as scrubby Australian bushland, tranquil waterholes, local wildlife, horse paddocks and hobby farms.

Come along with friends—or make new ones—at a shared table.
