A Miniature Train Ride In Jandowae: — Be, a passenger on our train, come ride with as the Driver blows his whistle, we hear the hiss of steam and we head off around the bend. Past the garden bed and the vintage tractor in its shed. Clickity clack around the track, and there is Athlone Cottage and the old Jandowae Hotel. We travel on towards the creek, and steam through the switchback and along through an avenue of trees. We swing around the last curve and past the unique turntable built by our Club Members. The driver blows the whistle, closes the valves and applies the brakes. and we stop at the platform. We hope you enjoyed your ride. Thank you for travelling with as.
