Facilities at our Site

On Public Running Days, we have ...

  • Picnic tables (sorry - no bookings taken, gates open at 9:30am)
  • Sausage Sandwich Stall between 12 noon and 1:30pm
  • DIY barbeques - these are wood fired (wood supplied) but please bring your own matches, firelighters and BBQ tools etc. The DIY barbeques will be unavailable if there is a total fire ban
  • Tap water is available throughout the picnic areas
  • Canteen selling tea & coffeee, cold drinks, ice creams & lollies
  • Display of small stationary models
  • Miniature Traction Engine rides (on some days)
  • Male & female toilets (sorry - no disabled facility)

Please note that in the event of a Total Fire Ban, the DIY BBQs will be unavailable and only "diesel" locomotives will be running (no steam). However, the Sausage Sandwich Stall will still be open.

Please note that our site has steps - if you bring a pram or stroller, it will be necessary to carry it up & down steps.

Please also note that we have no facilities for disabled visitors. It is possible to get a wheelchair into the viewing areas, but only by having some gates unlocked especially - please ask for help. We do not have disabled toilet facilities.

Please note that all train passengers must wear fully enclosed footware - not sandals or thongs!

We suggest you wear older clothes when visiting us. We cannot be responsible for damage to clothing or personal property caused when visiting our bushland venue and / or riding on trains.
