The Yaraka goods is not an advertised service, so there is no offical
timetable outside
of QR.  The old QR maxim "service is subject to cancellation or alteration
without
notice" applies.

AFAIK, 0050 Wednesday is still the scheduled departure time, arriving back
mid-morning
Thursday.  You will have to get in contact with the Ticket Office at
Emerald on the day
prior at least, to make sure that the van is prepared for you.

Have a good trip, i think you will enjoy it.  The Yaraka goods must be one
of the last
non - tourist trap rail adventures left in this country.
