Happy Birthday to 12A, 114 years looks good on you! 🎂🚂

Did you know that this little star had a temporary name change to Wombat for two weeks when it was featured on the ABC children’s television series 'Come Midnight Monday'?

We are pleased this infamous celebrity is part of our steam fleet and still puffing along the track! ❤

Did you know that the Lakeside station is home to the only remaining, regularly operated, Wig-Wag signal in Victoria?

They were invented in 1909 and were named due to the motion they make when activated, swinging side to side with a striking bell! 🚂

" Hill's favourite Incy Wincy is known for its super friendly service and fantastic, dietary-friendly food and drinks. They offer sandwiches, croissants, salads, soups, pies, pasties, sausage rolls, granola and cakes made fresh daily, as well as smoothies, iced drinks, fresh juices, and popsicles available for those warmer days. You'll also find delicious doughnuts on Tuesdays, including cinnamon (vegan), jam and gluten-free options, plus a special flavour each week (be early, they go fast).

Their hatch in the wall is perfect for those with prams, bikes, mobility aids, or dogs. For a contactless experience, pre-order and pay via the online menu and simply collect from the hatch upon arrival, or pop up to the hatch to see what is on offer! Want to hang for a bit? Pull up a stool at one of their outdoor tables, or lounge for a while in their indoor dining area.

Travel light and grab a few Incy Wincy goodies to picnic on, and make sure you enjoy all that this beautiful spot has to offer. Let the kids enjoy the Puffing Billy playground just down the road, or head out to Nobelius Heritage Park, Emerald Lake Park, or Pepi's Land.

Open daily for dine-in and takeaway. Check out their website for regular and holiday hours, and for more information.
