All aboard for a delightful family adventure on the Victorian Goldfields Railway! This charming heritage steam train lets you step back in time as you travel through scenic bushland between Castlemaine and Maldon, spotting sheep, cows, and waving to onlookers along the way. The ride lasts about 45–50 minutes each way, giving you plenty of time to enjoy the experience. At either end, you can explore the local towns—grab a pub lunch at The Kangaroo Hotel, browse secondhand treasures at Little Red Books, or pick up treats at The Maldon Lolly Shop. During school holidays, special entertainment like clowns often adds extra fun for the little ones!
