Margate Train

The Southeast


Margate Train is a chance for train geeks to gawk at Tasmania's last passenger train, the good ol' Tasman Ltd, which stopped chugging in 1978. It stands idly on a redundant section of track by the highway just north of town, and houses craft shops, a bookshop, antique dealers, a craft brewer, a pancake cafe and a provedore for picnic supplies.
