Default Savannahlander, where are you?

I did a bit of a search, and all of the online info about the
Cairns-Forsayth "Savannahlander" tourist train service is out of date!
If the new operator want's to make money, they should provide a good
webpage about the train.

The Savannahlander" is one of the best train rides in Australia, and
anybody who can do the trip, should consider doing so.

However, even finding the current coach timetable for the
Cairns-Normanton service, which provides connections to the
Croydon-Normanton "Gulflander" and Forsayth-Cairns "Savannahlander"
trains,is difficult.

I have no idea whether its true or not, but I've learnt to distrust all
media reports on any topic until independently verified.

RD is a media publication, and I have seen no independent corroboration
of that report.

Fair comment, Chris. But, if RD is wrong about the Savannahlander now
going to Forsayth, I woner how that info got to them and was
published. I feel that RD wouldn,t "run" with a story without doing
some checking.
