Springtime Spectacular to the Carnival of Flowers and Beyond

Queensland heritage rail loop through the Granite Belt to the Carnival of Flowers.

Railway Adventures operates this 10-day escorted tour through Queensland's regional heartland, departing Brisbane and traveling south through the Granite Belt before heading north to the Carnival of Flowers in Maryborough. The route takes in country towns including Warwick, Toowoomba, Dalby, Kingaroy, and Gympie, with heritage rail forming the backbone of each day's travel. A tour leader accompanies the group throughout, providing guidance and local knowledge. The itinerary blends Queensland's horticultural attractions, particularly the Carnival of Flowers celebration, with the character of regional Queensland towns and their railway heritage. This tour suits repeat rail travellers and couples seeking a guided, small-group experience focused on regional charm and gardens rather than metropolitan sightseeing.
