Diamond Valley Miniature Railway

As one of the most travelled miniature railways in Australia, this popular attraction is a must-have experience for kids of all ages and is a not-for-profit enterprise, run by volunteers.

Visitors can enjoy a 15 minute ride along 2km of track. See our picture gallery

The bushland setting of this park includes two adventure playgrounds, both with covered barbeque areas and tables and accessible toilets. Extensive walking paths span the park and run through the railway and down to the Yarra River where there is an observation platform and impressive bridge across the river.
