Visited Sunday 18th June and was disappointed to be told that they would be running a diesel engine instead of steam that day. As we were visiting the area we decided to do the trip anyway. The return train to Drysdale takes about 2 hours...More

The trip takes around 2hr 15 min but one can make a day of it by stopping for a picnic at one end & waiting for the later train. The train is great and the scenery to die for. They appear to regular family days...More

Our kids enjoyed enormously travelling on the train with Mrs Santa Clause, changing carriages at Lakers Siding, meeting Santa Clause himself back at the station, having their face painted, some refreshments and a family photo taken. A good time was had by all
