The Play Bundle at The Ginger Factory in Yandina pairs two short, purpose-built attractions: a single run on Moreton, the much-loved historic Ginger Train, and the Overboard water ride that sends guests after the Gingerbread Man. The train carries riders in open-air carriages through the gardens and grounds with interpretive notes on Yandina and the local ginger industry; the Overboard experience puts each party in a lifeboat for a meandering water voyage following the Gingerbread Man—an uncomplicated, family-oriented outing.
