Full steam ahead – the Bulla Hill Railway is warming up its locomotives for its next public run day this month, with passengers offered clear views of giant Jurassic reptiles and the picturesque Macedon Ranges.
Known as the Dinosaur Line, the railway weaves past several colourful dinosaur statues, including a large animatronic figure.
Run by a group of passionate volunteers, the organisation will host its next public run day from 10am–4pm on Sunday, April 20, with the call for the last ride at 3.45pm.
Railway promotions officer Sue Brabazon said there is “something for everybody” at the site, and that the volunteers “just love operating the trains for the public”.
“We’ve got a range of trains on the go – we’ve got steam, we’ve got diesel, we’ve got battery. We have shelters for hire, the train playground, … we’ve got a train outline that you can have your photos with as well … plus all of our many dinosaurs to find around the track,” Ms Brabazon said.
“It keeps the kids all entertained while they’re having a great ride … as well as all the beautiful views looking out towards Mount Macedon for the adults … everyone gets wowed by that.”
Tickets are $5 each for anyone over 12 months of age and can be purchased on the day with cash or card.
The Bulla Hill Railway is located at 15 Green Street, Bulla.
