Franklin River Railway Ruins - TAS

The Franklin River incline railway ruins at the end of the Mt McCall Track. At the end of the Mt McCall track a steep walking trail drops 300m down to the Franklin River below. The incline ‘haulage way’ was installed by the then Hydro Electric Commission to support investigation of the gorge for future dam infrastructure. Today some commercial rafters use it to enable shorter duration trips but is a difficult climb, allowing 1+ hour return. Access via permit from Parks & Wildlife in Queenstown.
