LET’S GET A TICKET TO RIDE!

Experiences

Important Announcement

Sundays 6th, 13th & 20th Dec 2026

Due to planned track infrastructure works on the Musk–Bullarto section of the line during the first three weeks of December, trains will run to an altered timetable and will operate a 35min return service to Musk on these Sundays.

Passengers wishing to visit Passing Clouds are still most welcome to, however as the winery station will be within the works zone, you will need to walk (approximately 600m) from Musk Station.

Take advantage of the reduced fares for these 3 weekends - Tickets are now available for purchase.

We apologise for any inconvenience, and thank you for your understanding while we carry out these important works.

Help Make 'The Tiger' Roar!

The restoration of the Dodge RM74 Passenger Mail Motor, affectionately known as “The Tiger,” is approaching its final stages of restoration, thanks to the dedicated efforts of our team. However, a few areas still need attention to complete the project faithfully.

These include the interior upholstery and trimming work, exterior painting, and a purpose built shed for long-term storage and protection of “The Tiger”.

Join us in awakening “The Tiger” — your support will help revive this scrapyard legend, roaring back as a timeless icon for generations to come.
