Bellarine Railway

Bellarine Railway is a heritage railway line that runs between two coastal towns using preserved steam and diesel locomotives. The route passes through farmland with occasional views across the bay.

The line opened in 1879 to connect a coastal town with a southern station, carrying passengers and military transport. After declining in the 20th century, railway volunteers restored and reopened the service.

The railway serves as a gathering place where visitors reconnect with how trains once shaped travel and community life in the region. You see families aboard experiencing how people moved around before modern cars existed.

Trains run most days with journeys taking about an hour for the full route. Check ahead as schedules vary by season and maintenance work affects availability.

The railway offers special train rides where live music performs during the journey, turning the trip into an entertainment experience. This combination of train travel and performances gives visitors something unexpected.
