Full steam ahead

Train crew volunteers.

Take a train ride with family and friends during this Jumpers and Jazz in July Festival, set to kick off on the 21st.

Southern Downs Steam Railway (SDSR) will be operating their Downs Explorer heritage train on short return trips to Hendon, on the Toowoomba line, and Wheatvale on the Goondiwindi line.

A sausage sizzle will be available at the Warwick Station plus music from the popular band ‘Girl Friday’ on Saturday 23 July.

Being only two hours long, these train trips are ideal for the younger folk, and it’s important to be at the station at least half an hour before departure time.

Online booking can be made via their website www.downsexplorer.org.au and some tickets may be sold on the day.

The dates, times, and ticket prices are as follows:

• Saturday 23 at 10:00am: Warwick – Hendon + sausage sizzle Warwick Station 2hrs $45.00 $20.00
