Come for the day or stay at the Dwellingup Chalet and Caravan Park for the Weekend and Enjoy a fun weekend riding the Hotham Valley Trains.

Trip Bookings must be made by the 30th JUNE!- for booking purposes, The Club will book the Train Tickets so we are all able to sit in the same carriage. You will be invoiced for the Train Tickets by the club. The Hotham Valley donot give refunds  or credits so Tickets are not refundable but you may transfer your ticket to another person who is able to travel on that day. If you choose to book your own train tickets you probably won't be sitting with the club group. It is a very popular activity and tickets often sell out.

Upon departing Dwellingup the pace is leisurely as the train rolls along westward, down to Isandra Siding, 14kms away. Once there, the locomotive will move to the opposite end of the train during the 20 minute stopover and make ready for the return.
 
On the return journey, you will thrill to the magnificent sights and sounds of a Steam Locomotive hard at work climbing Western Australia's steepest and most spectacular section of railway, through the Darling Range Escarpment as the train returns you to Dwellingup.

Travel along an amazing portion of steeply graded and tightly curved railway manually carved into the Darling Range, which once so masterfully served the timber industry and the agricultural areas of Dwellingup and beyond.
