Default Train Route

Is there a train connection from Brisbane to Gladstone? If so, can someone
please direct me to an appropriate website or mail address for additional
information?

There certainly is - the Queensland Rail tilt train runs from Brisbane
to Rockhampton, and IIRC the Sunlander (the train from Brisbane to
Cairns) stops at Gladstone as well. It takes roughly 6 hours to travel
from Brisbane to Gladstone.

You can find details, timetables, fares and online bookings at

You'll need a lot of luck to find any info on that site, it is for the
wrong state! Countrylink is the NSW operator, operating services
within NSW as well as from SYD to BNE and MEL (although for how much
longer is the topic of rabid discussion on aus.rail ).

Queensland Rail TravelTrain is what is needed, the URL for which has
already been posted several times in this thread.

Thank you, all kind people, for your helpful responses to my question about
train routes in Australia.
