The Esplanade Scenic Railway was established in
1969 and travels through native bush and secluded areas of the
Esplanade.
The main track takes the railway from the Esplanade station,
past the cafeteria platform, to the children's playground
station and back again.
The track is 2.2km long, and the ride is
approximately 20 minutes duration.
The teams runing the trains are all volunteers,
as are those who carry out the maintenance and regulatory
safety inspections.
Passengers can purchase a return ticket, which
will allow them to enjoy the facilities provided at either end
of the park.
A great Miniature Railway!
