Event Information
Come with us on a scenic journey to the Shoalhaven as we wander along the south coast for a day at the Berry Markets. Our train whisks you out of Sydney suburbia and off through the Royal National Park, offering spectacular vistas over the Pacific Ocean as we follow the coastline southwards to Berry.
Regulars of our Cockatoo Run will be familiar with the first part of the journey, as we enjoy some of the amazing scenery which made this train famous. At Unanderra we continue southwards rather than scaling the escarpment, tracing the coastline to Kiama and Gerringong before arriving in historic Berry.
Here you can alight to browse through a range of over 200 stalls selling home made arts and crafts, locally produced foods, and collectables at the Berry Markets. Alternatively, you can enjoy a wander through the lovely town whose humble beginnings trace back to dairy and cedar cutting.
We are also offering the options to alight at Kiama, famed for its beaches, blowhole and scenic stretches of coastal walks.
Alternatively, for the full rail experience travel through to Bomaderry.
