Event Information
Join us this Australia Day for an evening trip to Tarana and enjoy a special twilight edition of the Tarana Community Farmers Market. The market takes place on the grounds of the Rural Fire Service, right next to Tarana Station. Meet local farmers, explore fresh produce, and enjoy the lively atmosphere of this unique event.
After visiting the market, you can book dinner at the Tarana Hotel before taking the train back to Lithgow.
If you’re looking for a longer adventure, instead of hoping off at Tarana, you can continue on to Bathurst, where you’ll have over 2hrs stopover to enjoy dinner at one of the many dining venues, such as the Victoria Hotel or Reckless Brewing Co.

Accessibility
Due to the heritage nature of the train, it is not possible to board with a wheelchair or similar device. However, we will be pleased to convey mobility restricted passengers whenever possible provided they can move to their reserved seats with the help of an able-bodied carer. Regrettably, our volunteer staff are unable to assist in helping move such persons. The wheelchair or mobility device will need to be folded by the carer and either stored at the end of the carriage or in the guard's van. Some platforms are shorter or lower than normal which may necessitate walking through several carriages. Motorised scooters, etc., are not able to be conveyed at any time.
It is a condition of travel on all our tours that you have a reasonable level of fitness and a good level of mobility. We require all passengers to be capable of self-care during the tour, should you require assistance it remains your responsibility to supply a carer.
Timetable and Altering Services
LVR makes every endeavour to ensure that our tours operate as advertised. Unfortunately, this may not always be possible owing to circumstances such as network operational issues, urgent track work, total fire bans or mechanical issues owing to the age of the heritage rollingstock. In such events, we reserve the right to make whatever changes are necessary without notice. However, any changes made will only be after we have made all reasonable efforts to provide the tour as advertised.
Times shown on brochures are subject to approval of the relevant authorities and could differ on the day. Correct times will be advertised on your tickets or by special email / mail. Refunds will not be given for change of destination or last-minute variations to timetable caused by events outside of our control.
