Event Information
Step aboard The Robertson Show Express and experience a heritage rail journey like no other! Departing Sydney Central, this relaxing and scenic adventure will take you via the East Hills Line and the picturesque Southern Highlands to the charming village of Robertson.
Arriving just in time for lunch, you’ll step into a world of history and tradition at the renowned Robertson Show. With roots tracing back to 1878, the Robertson Agricultural and Horticultural Show is a celebration of rural life, blending old-world charm with vibrant modern-day activities. From dazzling pavilion exhibits featuring homemade and homegrown delights to thrilling horse events, a captivating dog show, and the famous Great Australian Potato Race, this country show has something for everyone.
Get ready to enjoy classic “homegrown” entertainment like gumboot throwing and hay stacking, alongside modern attractions that delight visitors of all ages. Don’t miss the festive atmosphere, the bustling stalls, and the unbeatable country hospitality that make the Robertson Show truly one of the last great country fairs in Australia.
After a fun-filled day, reboard the train for a relaxed journey home, departing Robertson at 5:00 PM and arriving back at Sydney Terminal at approximately 8:00 PM. With show entry and transfers included in your ticket, The Robertson Show Express is the perfect way to connect with the heart of the Southern Highlands and its agricultural heritage.
