Daylesford Spa Country Railway

Daylesford Spa Country Railway offers rides through the beautiful scenic countryside and forest of the Central Highlands, to the highest operating railway station in Victoria in heritage restored trains. Return tickets for the one-hour trip to Bullarto cost $8 for adults ($7 concession), $6 for school-age children, and $20 for families. Toddlers ride free, and they still get their own ticket for the conductor to punch!

Daylesford Spa Country Railway is located in Raglan Street (same location as the Daylesford Sunday Market) in the original 1882 heritage listed train station. You couldn't start your sunday better than perusing the market followed by a trip with the family on the train. 

Because it is run by volunteers who love what they do, it feels like a train ride that your parents would remember (polite service for one thing) when train services were an essential part of rural life. The restored heritage trains "take you for a ride" through the beautiful scenic countryside and forest of the Central Highlands,  to the highest operating railway station in Victoria.

The Daylesford Spa Country Railway, a Rail safety Accredited tourist railway operator, offers a regular schedule or excursion trains every Sunday. Spa Country is a beautiful rural area and this unique opportunity to see it should not be missed.

The return journey along the top of the range traverses open farmland and thick forest, passing the sites of ancient volcanoes and little communities established in the gold rush era.
