    Put on the train trip from Souther Cross to Tocumwal on for the kids:

    The last leg from Shepperton to Tocumwal is usually freight only. I’d love to hop on at Donnybrook and take the train to Tocumwal.

    Same with Mildura. That line is freight only as well. How many tourism dollars would a vline to Mildura rake in? I don’t know why it’s still closed to the public.

      Did that trip many years ago when it was still running. I did enjoy it.

        I’m going to check it out anyway. The boys would love it and Mildura is one of the few places it would be worth getting the train to rather than just driving

            I’ve checked these out and they are quite expensive. They also seem more geared towards the older crowd than young families, but I might be able to make one work at some point down the line
