더니든에 왔다면 꼭 해봐야 할 기차여행

더니든에서 출발하는 전통적인 기차에 올라서 왕복 4시간의 기차여행은 멋집니다. 협곡의 다리위를 지날때는 환상적이고, 푸케랑이에서의 풍경또한 잊을 수 없습니다. 더니든을 들른다면 꼭 해보아야 할 여행입니다.

정말 좋아욤

가격이 좀 비싸긴 한데 그래도 차로 갈 수 없는 곳이고 설명듣는 것도 좋았고 경치도 엄청 좋았습니다 ! 다음에도 다른 사람과 오게 된다면 가고 싶어요^^ 기차타는 것두 재미잇고 협곡 보는 것두 좋았어요

괜찮았어요.

4시간이라 꽤 길어서 좀 지루해요. 정가에 표사면 돈아까울거같고, 두번은 못탈거같아요^^. 한번 타본걸로 만족합니다.

Not to be missed!

We were wowed by both the scenery and history of the ride up the gorge. Sharon did the commentary and it surpassed our expectations. 5 hours seemed like a long time at the beginning but time whizzed by. Highly recommend.
