About the event
The Swan Bay Express offers a delightful and nostalgic 45-minute heritage train journey along the picturesque Swan Bay, departing from the historic Queenscliff Station. On April 27th, 2025, you can step back in time and experience rail travel in beautifully restored, enclosed wooden carriages, complete with the charming option of opening the sash windows to fully immerse yourself in the surroundings.
As the train gently chugs along the narrow-gauge track, hauled by a historic locomotive (often a lovingly maintained steam engine, though a diesel may occasionally operate), you'll be treated to scenic views of Swan Bay, a Ramsar-listed wetland renowned for its diverse birdlife. Keep an eye out for pelicans, black swans, and other fascinating species as the train skirts the foreshore. The journey also meanders through pockets of remnant coastal bushland, offering glimpses of the natural beauty of the Bellarine Peninsula.
