MUST DO!! Tasmania West Coast Wilderness Railway Strahan - Queenstown Complete Review

Welcome to Tasmania!! The West Coast Wilderness Railway is a super scenic 34.5km long railway that travels through Tasmania's wet and wild rainforest. Due to its remote location from other towns, I never got chance to come and travel on this train. But today, I've finally made up my mind, spent 7hrs on the bus from Hobart and arrived in Strahan at last. In this video I will show you every single detail of my experience, and hopefully by the end of the video, I'll be able to answer every question you may have and you'll be able to decide which route and which type of carriage you would like to travel on. Please enjoy!!
