Enjoy breakfast onboard as we leave Goulburn and continue

along the Main South Line. We pass many interesting villages and

towns today as we travel through the Canola Trail, so keep an eye

out for the many grain silos adjacent to the rail line. Our train then

arrives into Junee, and there is an opportunity to watch the Loco

Runaround movement.



Our first stop for the day is the Historical Railway Museum featuring

a 100-foot turntable, showcasing steam and diesel locomotives.

The Junee Roundhouse is one of just a few surviving, working,

railway Roundhouses in the Southern Hemisphere. It is uniquely

Australian as its size, being fully circular and having a long, ‘100

foot’, turntable. While the Museum is part of the Roundhouse, the

other part, including the turntable, is still used as a diesel locomotive

servicing facility by Junee Railway Workshop.



Have you ever wanted to see what happens at a licorice factory?

Your next stop is the Junee Licorice & Chocolate factory. As soon

as you step foot in the front door you’ll be immersed in the delicious

aroma of licorice and chocolate, one of chocolatiers will talk you

through the process of licorice and chocolate production and you’ll

witness it being made before your eyes.



We then have a short drive to Coolamon where our lunch spot

awaits. Enjoy a tour with an artisan cheese maker located in the

heart of the Riverina, known for creating an innovative range of

handcrafted cheese, followed by lunch.



There is free time to wander about Coolamon town before we rejoin

the train and head onto Murrami. After dinner onboard, enjoy a

special stargazing experience in Murrami.
