Queensland residents draws to the attention of the House the Savannahlander train journey from Cairns to Forsayth.

The Savannahlander is an iconic tourist adventure bringing thousands of visitors per year, providing economic benefits to the region, is now under threat of being lost due to a lack of commitment from the state government to fix track and repair bridges between Einasleigh and Forsayth, and Kuranda and Mareeba. 

Your petitioners, therefore, request the House to do all in its power to urgently ensure the repair of the Savannahlander rail line to full operation.
