SUMMARY:Wycheproof Steam Weekender
DESCRIPTION:Steamrail Victoria invites you to join us for this exciting event of overnight travel in beautifully restored sleeping carriages. Travel by steam to the Mallee town of Wycheproof – the unique town where the railway runs down the main street!\nThis will also be Steam Locomotive R711’s first visit to Wycheproof.TICKETS AND MORE INFO – www.trybooking.com/DEJKO \nDay 1 – Saturday 18th October 2025\nAfter picking up at Newport and Sunshine Stations\, the train will gather speed through the Western Suburbs and head out across the grasslands towards Geelong.

Here there will be a short stop to wander into town and have lunch while the locomotive takes on water. Rejoin the train for a spirited run through Dunolly and into the rolling hills of the Mallee – before arriving at Wycheproof\, 344 kilometres from Melbourne by rail.\nDisembark the train at your leisure for dinner at one of the local pubs before settling into your accommodation either On-Train or in Motels. \nDay 2 – Sunday 19th October 2025\nTime is provided to take a morning walk through town and to enjoy a complimentary buffet style breakfast at the Royal Mail Hotel. Enjoy views of R711 steaming up and down Broadway before rejoining the train in style – all passengers will board the train in the middle of the main street! Departure for Melbourne will be mid morning.\nOnce the train is underway\, a complimentary boxed lunch will be provided onboard\, courtesy of Bakery on Broadway. After another brief stop at Maryborough\, we will arrive back into Ballarat.\nAn express run back to Melbourne will be made via ‘the straight’ – via Bacchus Marsh – descending the famous 1 in 48 Ingliston Bank\, providing spectacular views back towards Melbourne & across the Werribee Gorge State Park before passing over the iconic 357-metre Melton Viaduct\, built in 1885 to traverse the Werribee River.
