Welcome to Ida Bay Railway

Ride with us to the end of the line on Australia's most southern railway. Relax and take in the beautiful scenery and white beaches. Before or after your trip, visit the Ida Bay Railway Cafe and enjoy a selection of hot and cold food or drinks.

Disabled toilets and wheelchair access are available at the cafe which is open 7 days a week.

Enjoy the 14km return trip

From Lune Lune River station travel through bush land abundant with bird life and wild flowers. Cross button grass plains and travel along the banks of Ida Bay and Lune River Estuary.

The scenic water views are superb. There are marked bush walking tracks to Southport Lagoon and Southport Bluff. Near Southport Bluff is the King George III monument which commemorates the 134 lives lost in the sinking of the convict ship, King George III in 1835.

If you go on one of the walks, please tell the driver.

The railway line terminates at Deep Hole and Elliott's Beach where we have a shelter with BBQ facilities, picnic tables and chairs and toilets.

Enjoy some time at the beach with a picnic or BBQ with family or friends and catch a later train back to the station. BBQ packs are available at the Ida Bay Railway Cafe.
