Pichi Richi Railway, Quorn
Pichi Richi Railway
A heritage steam train departing from the old Quorn station, crossing the Pichi Richi Pass and offering a taste of 19th-century Great Northern Railway travel.
The Pichi Richi Railway is one of Australia's oldest narrow-gauge heritage railways. It runs along the old alignment of the Great Northern Railway, built in 1879. Volunteers maintain the line, and trains are pulled by steam and vintage diesel locomotives, traveling from Quorn to Woolshed Flat or Port Augusta. Along the way, you pass stone bridges and mountain pass scenery. The town of Quorn has many historic buildings and has served as a filming location for several films. Trains run infrequently, so book in advance on the official website. Quorn is about 110 km from Wilpena, and it is usually included on trips to or from Adelaide.
