School Holiday Steam Excitement

Steam out of the city to Thirlmere village, home of NSW’s Rail Heritage, situated in the attractive Southern Highlands foothills. A great family day trip. Settle back in 1930s style as the Thirlmere Flyer huffs and puffs through the suburbs – lift up the window by your seat and enjoy the sights, sounds and smells of the steam train.

At Thirlmere, visit the Rail Heritage Centre™, experience a living museum amongst the largest display of heritage trains in NSW. Take a ride on the Thirlmere Heritage Railway steam trains – go behind the scenes on a tour of ‘The Roundhouse’, Australias newest maintenance facility for heritage trains.

Bring a picnic, enjoy in the spacious grounds at the Rail Heritage Centre™ or relax with a drink or snack at the popular Thirlmere cafes or hotel.. right by the park. Refreshments are available from the fully licensed buffet car onboard the Thirlmere Flyer or… treat yourself and upgrade to Premier Class - travel in Edwardian elegance with morning and afternoon snacks and a complimentary glass of wine served at your seat.
