    [post_content] => The Goulburn Weekender Picnic Train - Escape the ordinary and experience a spectacular steam-hauled weekend away to historic Goulburn!

Join us Saturday morning aboard our heritage train, hauled by magnificent steam locomotive R766, as we journey from Sydney to Goulburn.

Arriving around midday, the rest of the weekend is yours to enjoy. Explore Goulburn’s historic streets, visit the heritage railway roundhouse or model railway show, discover the town’s pubs, restaurants and cafés, or simply relax and enjoy a weekend away.

On Sunday, take the morning and early afternoon at your own leisure before returning to Goulburn Station around 4:00pm for another unforgettable steam-hauled express journey back to Sydney.

Your ticket includes travel in our beautifully restored BAM 1741 heritage lounge, bar and converted sleeping carriage, featuring:
Heating & cooling climate control
Comfortable lounges 
Opening windows
Three sleeping berths setup in day mode
Tea & coffee included on both days
Private bar with drinks available for purchase

Saturday night accommodation is not included, allowing you to choose from Goulburn’s many hotels, motels and pubs to suit your style and budget.

Whether you're a dedicated train lover, a couple looking for a romantic escape, or simply looking for something different, this is your chance to experience the romance of a classic railway journey.

Steam through the countryside. Explore historic Goulburn. Stay overnight. Then steam home.

Don't miss this very special weekend away — steam travel just like it used to be! to deny serving alcohol where appropriate.
* No Alcohol is to be taken or consumed off the train.
