00:05Imagine taking a vintage train ride through the Tasmanian wilderness.
00:09The West Coast Wilderness Railway offers heritage rail journeys through Tasmania's remote West Coast.
00:16We board at Queenstown for a half-day journey, which will take us on an 1890s railway track.
00:22The track was originally built to transport Queenstown's copper riches across some of Tasmania's toughest country.
00:30The replica vintage carriage we are riding in is handcrafted from Huon Pine.
00:36Pulled by a steam locomotive, we ascend through thick bush which turns to rainforest as we climb higher.
00:44Steam and mist cover the tracks as we are pulled up the mountain.
00:48A viewing platform at the back of the train is the perfect vantage point to watch the incredible scenery.
00:55At Lynchford Station, we learn about the location's heritage as a mining town.
01:11Next stop is Rinadina.
01:14Here, we watch as the locomotive detaches from the train carriages, before joining the other end for our journey back
01:21down the mountain.
