What was it like to travel quiet country lines like Campbelltown to Camden or Parramatta to Castle Hill in the early 20th century? Find out by riding the Valley Heights Mixed on Sunday 28 June.

Admire the usual exhibits, large and small, that tell the story of 150 years of railways across the mountains. Wander through the 112 year old, heritage listed, 1914 roundhouse where a newly expanded range of locomotives, wagons and carriages are open for inspection.

Take time to explore, then relax with a hot or cold snack and drink in the café, before browsing the shop for that unusual gift or souvenir.
