Pemberton Tramway Company, Heritage railway in Pemberton, Western Australia
The Pemberton Tramway runs diesel trams through thick forest on a route of about 10 kilometers, crossing several tall bridges over rivers. The trains follow tracks that once carried timber through the landscape.
The service started in 1987 to take visitors along the old Pemberton-Northcliffe line. A second route between Lambert and Pemberton opened in 1995.
The railway keeps alive the story of how timber moved through this region in earlier times. Visitors hear from local guides about the importance of the forest industry to the town's past.
Trains run on several days each week with morning and afternoon departures, though times change with the seasons. It helps to check ahead and arrive early on weekends when these trips are more popular.
The bridges are tall wooden structures that rise high above the rivers and give views across the forested land. During the ride you may spot native animals and bird species that live in these forests.
