DESCRIPTION:

Steam Train Tours with 3801 and Focus 10 travelling to the Southern Highlands, Blue Mountains and Hunter Valley.

Join Focus 10 for the sight, sound & emotion of a steam train adventure departing from Central Station Sydney 4 times a year to meet up with festivals around Sydney. We charter private compartments on the famous 3801 train for that party atmosphere and our privacy.

 

The journey itself is wonderful - the deep chuff, chuffing sound of the famous 3801 locomotive labouring up a steep incline, the romantic smoky light filtering into the wood panelled carriages - the rural scenery unfolding as we hurry along.
Bundanoon (April tour) is one of our most popular trips with an annual Highland gathering of pipers emerging from the mists. See Scottish Highland dancing, join in tossing the caber, shot putt, water toss, haggis hurling and kilt lifting. Bring your own picnic lunch or grab a gourmet treat such as kippers and oatmeal cakes. Trace your Celtic heritage and wander around absorbing and capturing on film this marvellous highland gathering.

  • July Tour:  At Robertson, we create our own Christmas Yulefest feast. One of the highlights of the journey is descending the scenic and steep Illawarra escarpment. 

  • November TourExeter, Olde English Village Fayre Medieval feasting, games & rituals. See the children dance the maypole. See medieval warriors fight the battle of Hastings. Meet The Routiers :English civil war pike drill and musket firing! Learn Morris dancing.

We aim to capture the romance of steam travel with creative, elegant photography. Private compartments, free photo tips, professional portrait photographs and notes are included in the package.
