Thank you for your enquiry, yes all of our journeys do return to where they departed. Our River and Rainforest trip from Strahan heads half way to Queenstown, turns at the Dubbil Barril station and returns to Strahan, our Rack and Gorge does the same from Queenstown, to Dubbil Barril and return to Queenstown. We also offer a full trip from Strahan to Queenstown and return during all timetables except our Winter one. We do hope you can join us on board for one of our historic journeys soon.
