Join us on Sunday 29 September for a run to the Blue Mountains and a steam rail experience at the Zig Zag Railway, originally built in 1886.
Meet at McDonalds Windsor car park, 242 Windsor Rd. Vineyard, at 9:00am for 9:30am departure. We'll travel Bells Line Road aiming to arrive in Clarence at the Zig Zag Station at 11:00am. Plenty of parking is now provided at the destination.
Have a snack and a warm drink at the Zig Zag café (EFTPOS only), or bring your own picnic. There are outdoor picnic tables - or enjoy the café carriage if raining.
Check in to receive your train tickets at the ticket office. The train departs at 12:30pm for a 90 minute round trip on the historic journey traversing the Blue Mountains.
Please arrive on time, and enjoy taking seats in a carriage with fellow MGCC members.
Bookings are made online via the Zig Zag Railway's website at www.zigzagrailway.com.au. Select a date, scroll to September 29th, select time: 12:30pm and add names of passengers and your email address. At the station you will be issued with a commemorative ticket for your journey.
