Looking for an easy, affordable outing to keep little ones happy on Australia Day?
The Ride on Mini Trains event in Nambour is rolling back into town on Sunday 25 January, and it’s shaping up as a perfect Australia Day Sunday treat for families.
From 10am to 2.30pm, the Mini Rail Park will come alive with steam, battery and petrol-powered miniature locomotives, all pulling carriages around nearly one kilometre of track. Kids can hop on just one train or try them all – and for little train lovers, it’s pure magic.
There’s a fun Australia Day twist too: dress the kids in their most original Aussie gear and they score one free train ride. Children aged four and under ride free when travelling with a paying adult, making it great value for young families.
Tickets are designed to suit every budget, with six rides for $15, 20 rides for $50, or $3 per ride, and EFTPOS available on the day.
Mums will also love the practical details: plenty of parking just 100 metres away at the railway station car park, a sausage sizzle and cold drinks, and even a small dog-friendly atmosphere. Just remember enclosed shoes are required for everyone riding – no thongs.
So pack the pram, grab the hats, and enjoy a relaxed, old-fashioned family day out that won’t break the bank. It’s a little trip with big smiles guaranteed.
