Zig Zag Railway
Join us for a run via the back roads to the picturesque Blue Mountains.
Friday morning soak up the sights, smells and scenery of Australia’s historic rail adventure – Zig Zag Railway is just 15 minutes from the Blue Mountains. Established in 1869, come and enjoy a relaxing ride on the romantic, nostalgic, impressive steam locomotive as it hauls you over the Great Lithgow Zig Zag.
Zig Zag Railway offers visitors the chance to experience heritage steam travel on the original rail path down the picturesque western escarpment of the Blue Mountains – almost exactly as it was in the late 1800s.
After our rail adventure and lunch we will head to the Norman Lindsay Gallery in Faulconbridge. Alternatively, there are plenty of other options in the mountains if a gallery isn't to your liking.
Explore the former home of prolific and controversial artist Norman Lindsay, while enjoying a day of art and gardens in a historic Blue Mountains location.
On Saturday we will travel the back roads via Oberon and Taralga on the way home.
