The Blues Train leaves Queenscliff Railway Station after guests have enjoyed a hearty meal complemented by a selection of local wines. The steam train then makes its way along 16 kilometres of track, gently rocking from side to side, seemingly in beat with the music.
At each of the stops, revellers swap carriages to see another of the acts, so by the end of the night patrons have seen all four acts performing on the train. Drinks are available from the mobile bar that appears on each platform ,from the converted guard’s van.
