From Ida Bay you will travel through light bush to the shores of Ida Bay. The line passes through the site of the original town of Ida Bay, past the wharf and grave yard that is all that remains of a once thriving area. Soon after reaching the shores of the Lune River estuary and for a mile or so the scenic views across the waterways are superb. Past the bush site of Jagers sawmill and jetty through bush you could reach out and touch. The line terminates at Deep Hole Bay, a large white swimming beach accessible only by rail. The beach is nearly a mile long and very secluded. From Deep Hole there are marked bush walking tracks to King George III monument where a convict ship sank with a huge loss of life and a walk to Southport Lagoon (allow 2-3 hours for the walks) and return to the station on a later train. There are toilets and a picnic shelter with seating(with BBQ facilities) available at the Deep Hole end of the line. We can cater for your BBQ or picnic if desired.
Spend an hour or two on the beach and return to the station on a later train. There is a cafe at the station.
Group bookings available (with catering if desired) with consultation with the tour operator. EFTPOS facilities available.
