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 run our trains, giving rides to the (young at heart) public.
The gates open about 8:30 and trains run from 10:30 until mid afternoon. Each passenger pays for the 4 - 6 minute train trip.
There is no cost to enter our beautiful picnic grounds and use our tables, BBQ's and toilet facilities.
We have a canteen that sells snacks, drinks and ice cream so you won't go hungry.
Safety regulation require EVERYONE riding the trains wears enclosed footwear. Persons in bare feet, thongs, sandals or open toe footwear will NOT be permitted on the train.
We run Steam Trains. They are HOT! They emit smoke, steam, oil, sparks and hot cinders so do not wear good clothes.

All the holidays are over and we are slowly getting back to work mode. Which won't be for long as we have several invitation runs over the next couple of months. These are good fun and put us back into holiday mode. This means life is a continuous loop of having holidays and getting over holidays. Life sure is tough!
