QUEENSLAND: Imagine waking up in a private cabin to the sun shining through your window, a patchwork of green and gold fields passing by and the smell of a freshly cooked breakfast beckoning you out of bed. Travel in Queenslander Class on The Sunlander train, on an indulgent trip from Brisbane to Cairns, and watch the dream become reality.

This autumn Traveltrain Holidays is giving holiday makers in Queensland the chance to discover the warmth of the season and that famous Sunshine State�s hospitality with an enticing rail package.

The newly released �Discover the Warmth of Queenslander Class This Autumn� package includes return overnight travel in the award-winning and indulgent Queenslander Class, eight nights accommodation for the price of four at the stunning Mantra Trilogy Resort in Cairns, free daily breakfast and free return transfers from Cairns railway station.

The experience begins with an indulgent trip aboard The Sunlander train in the all-inclusive Queenslander Class, where guests are treated to a premium travel experience and the highest levels of service from a Maitre�D and dedicated team of onboard staff, all of which is set against a stunning backdrop of ever-changing scenery.

As you ride the rails, you'll enjoy a three-course evening meal while watching the sun set over the passing sugarcane fields. Every meal, prepared by an experienced onboard chef, has a distinctly Queensland flavour and is made from local produce picked up en route.

Afterwards, kick back with a Queensland wine from the Queenslander Class selection or sip on an exotic cocktail and chat to fellow passengers in the dedicated lounge car, before retiring to your private cabin to be lulled to sleep by the gentle motion of the train.

Personal touches in each cabin such as bathrobes, slippers, a wash pack and even a beautiful Cooktown Orchid � the Queenslander Class emblem � make the experience one to remember.

On waking, watch the world roll by as you indulge in a spot of breakfast - Queenslander Class style. The day can be spent relaxing in your cabin, chatting to fellow passengers in the lounge car or singing some tunes with the onboard entertainer. And as the sun sets indulge in a sumptuous seafood supper and a glass of Queensland wine before preparing for the rest of your holiday in tropical Cairns.

The Mantra Trilogy Resort is the perfect place to explore the beauty of Tropical North Queensland. Days can be spent relaxing at the resort or discovering age-old rainforests, stunning islands and an array of marine life in the Great Barrier Reef.
