Celebrate 140 years of Sydney Steam Trams: In September 1879, Sydney awoke to a new set of shapes, sounds and experiences with the appearance of the first Steam Tram. A range of special activities and exhibits will be in store to commemorate this special date in the city’s transport history.

Visit Valley Heights on National Tree Day

Commemorating National Tree Day, the first 50 children to attend the Valley Heights Railway Museum on Sunday 28 July will receive a free seedling to plant in the grounds. Dedicated areas are being prepared for children to actually plant their gift on the day and mark the spot with a name tag (both donated by Bunnings Valley Heights). This provides the opportunity for children to keep progress on their handiwork in years to come and see evidence of their ‘green’ fingers. A personalised certificate will also be available for each child as a memento of the occasion. No need to book, but be early! (Gates open at 10am and normal entry fees apply)
