We recommend starting at Lakeside in Emerald and taking a return journey to Gembrook. Plan for lunch at The Independent in Gembrook. At the lake you can hire a paddle boat or enjoy the walk. We love taking friends families as the kids and adults all love hanging out the windows as the train rattles along.
