Appropriate Shoes To Ride At Wascoe Siding Blaxland

Please remember to always wear fully enclosed shoes at Wascoe Siding. No thongs or sandals are allowed. Feet need to be placed on the footrests of the trains at all times and not drag along the ground.

How Often Does The Train Go Around The Track?

Your ticket will buy you one ride at Wascoe Siding, which takes around 10 minutes. You get three laps around the double-track circuit for the price of your ticket. If you would like to ride again, you will need to buy another ticket.

Along your ride, you will go through a couple of dark tunnels, see a mini waterfall and wave to those enjoying the ride from their seats and undercover picnic tables!

You might find that one ride is just a taster, so be prepared for the kids to ask for another.
