The Valley Rattler Bushranger Hold-Up
Contact
Join us for this great day of historical re-enactment in conjunction with your Rattler journey on the third Sunday of each month.  Seargeant Moore and Trooper Knox have been commissioned to escort a large shipment of gold from the Gympie Goldfields to Imbil.  Watch out for bushrangers along the way... especially at the stations.  A serious attempt will most likely take place when we reach Imbil, we therefore ask you to alight from the train as quickly as possible.
