The Illawarra Live Steamers is a non-profit organisation that operates a miniature (5") railway across from Stuart Park at North Wollongong, N.S.W., Australia.
On the 4th Sunday of each month (except December) we open our gates to give the public train rides and access to our beautiful park and BBQ facilities.
Safety regulation require
EVERYONE riding the trains to wear
enclosed footwear. Persons in
bare feet or wearing
thongs, sandals or
open toe footware will
NOT be permitted on the train.
We run Steam Trains. They are HOT! They emit steam, oil, sparks and hot cinders so do not wear good clothes.

Most weeks I write a paragraph or two about what is going on at the track in the
News page. If you want any more info, please

Busy. Busy. Busy. These Christmas parties are a lot of hard work, but we wouldn't miss them for quids. Just looking at the childrens faces makes it all worth while.
