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.

Not much happens in August. The only problem we have is the August Winds that cause a lot of debris around the track. It takes a lot of time keeping our track in pristine condition.
