The Picnic Train
Come aboard The Picnic Train – a living museum on rails. This is travel as it used to be – a little slower and a lot more fun!
Their dedicated and talented volunteers are from a wide range of backgrounds and come from far and wide with just one thing in mind – to provide you with a unique and enjoyable day out.
Whether joining in Sydney for the signature Kiama Picnic Train or from Maitland for a spirited run to Dungog, or even further afield, you’ll soak up the scenery from 1930s carriages.
Their star attractions are their steam locomotives 5917 and R766 – rare survivors of the golden era of travel when steam ruled the rails.
They look forward to welcoming you aboard. Find out more at their website.
