Gulflander Train Stop
Blackbull Station opened on December 15, 1890, as a key stop on the historic
Normanton-to-
Croydon railway line in remote far north Queensland. Built during the region's gold rush era, the remote siding served the surrounding outback country. Today, the siding operates as a popular morning tea and "smoke-oh" stop for the iconic Gulflander tourist train. There is a large shelter area with tables,
bins, a modern disability friendly
toilet, a few sheds and historical information
signage. The
rest area is often used as an overnight stop by caravaners too.
