I can has Steam Train!! 🚂
A Steam Train went past my house , stopped at the historic station for a minute then went on. I was caught by surprise and it went so quick I didn’t get pics. 😑
Nek time. All the steam trains will be coming through here because of the line diversions. 🙂

I’ve seen this in a newsletter I get for kids’ activities. We’ll make the trip down there one day

Seems to be really popular.
If it were me w/ young kids I’d hit up the thomas the tank engine, then skip queenscliff, head to point lonsdale, fish n’ chips place opposite the new playground (also very popular w/ kiddos), and if you time it right w/ the tide and weather the rockpools and war bunkers near the lighthouse (also extremely popular w/ kiddos). Queenscliff itself is a bit boring for kids.

Definitely noting this down as an itinerary for a day trip

In years gone by we have done the Thomas at Puffing Billy experience. Not the cheapest day out but lots of character trains and buses and people and activities and it was fantastic. I’m a bit sad we’ve outgrown Thomas now.
