Overview
Forsayth is a tiny outback town with just one pub-hotel and a handful of residents, yet it draws visitors for two reasons: it's the western terminus of the historic Savannahlander narrow-gauge railway, and it's the gateway to spectacular Cobbold Gorge. The town sits in the heart of Queensland's Savannah region, a landscape of rolling golden grasslands and ancient rock formations that feels a world away from the coast.
Nature
Before you go
Connectivity
Mobile phone coverage is very limited or non-existent in Forsayth and the gorge area. No WiFi except possibly at the hotel.
Money
No ATM in Forsayth—carry sufficient cash from larger towns. Goldfield's Hotel may accept cards but confirm before relying on it.
Packing
Bring everything you need—there's no supermarket, pharmacy, or services of any kind. Stock up on food, water, fuel, and medications before arriving.
Transport
The Savannahlander train runs Tuesdays and Fridays only. Book well in advance as it is popular. No other public transport exists.
Weather
Extremely remote outback environment. Carry emergency supplies, extra water, and ensure your vehicle is reliable if driving.
