2012 EVENTS

We
endeavour to open the Railway Heritage Precinct every day of the year
so people can inspect our railway museum and the various exhibits in the
precinct.
You will find us on the Stuart Highway on the southern
side of the pictureseque township of Adelaide River.
There is no
admission fee, but we have a LARGE donation can that needs all the help you can give it.
Caravans
can pull in off the Stuart Highway - look
for the large railway carriage.
Positions vacant - Caretakers!
