Queensland Railways Sunshine Route poster, late 1950s

Featuring a 2000 Class 'Silver Bullet' rail motor which first made their appearance in 1956.

The slight issue is that the distance between Brisbane and Cairns (1,700 km or 1,060 miles) is further than what can be travelled in a day, unless it meant stopping overnight somewhere.  Comparing it to a 'magic carpet' seems whimsical.
