Looking for a fun day out for the whole family? Why not jump aboard the Victorian Goldfields Railway and enjoy a memorable trip aboard the tourist service to historic Maldon!
VGR run services to Maldon and return every Wednesday and Sunday, plus Saturdays and some public holidays during school holidays.
VGR has a special offer for the month of April – for travel taken during April all children travel free when booked with an Adult or Concession fare in Excursion Class. This special offer is valid for online bookings, one way or return.
The VGR team are also gearing up to hold their next ‘Ales on Rails’ event on Saturday April 29.
This is the ultimate beer, food and train experience.
Indulge as you are taken into a world of decadence, first class style in 1920’s era club and parlour carriages.
As your train takes you through the countryside from Castlemaine to Maldon, you are taking another journey. Beginning with an easy drinking wheat beer you sample a range of specialty beers culminating in a rich chocolate porter. Light snacks are served by VGR stewards on the train to complement your tasting experience. Tasting notes are provided.
You will then enjoy a gourmet lunch at Maldon’s Kangaroo Hotel and a beer from their extensive craft beer range is included.
Travellers are asked to note VGR are currently running their Heritage Diesel Engine while their steam engine undergoes a major mechanical overhaul.
