Geocache Description:


Castle Dare View

by Danger Ducks

Its out there somewhere!  The train-lover's, family fun filled - Castle Dare Miniature Railway.  We have hidden our cache in a nice little park not far from Castle Dare itself.  It is a small lunchbox size container with log book and numerous swaps.

For those interested in the Miniature Railway read on (quoted from check-in.com.au):

"Castledare Miniature railway was established in 1963 by a group of model engineers looking for a place to run a locomotive recently built by one of the group. Permission was granted for a track to be built on what was then the Castledare Boys Home. There was a catch, in that something had to be operational for the next open day, which was just weeks away. A length of straight track was laid and trains ran on the open day. From these small beginnings came a club which operates the longest club operated track in Australia with approximately five kilometres of track and a fleet of approximately 25 locomotives and over 40 passenger carriages.

Our track winds along the banks of the Canning River and depending on the day your train may even cross one of the tributaries to the river to journey through the wetlands area. Passengers board the train at Niana Station (the main station complex) and travel towards Fern Road and on occasions, venture as far as the Kent Street weir before returning to Niana Station and the main picnic ground.

Please feel free to make use of the picnic area at our main station with it's wood fired barbecues and play equipment. Our running days during the period of May until October fall into the official steam season and therefore more steam locomotives may be seen operating during this time however a limited amount of steam locomotives may be seen in action all year round.

As a safety requirement, fully enclosed footwear must be worn by those intending to ride on the trains. There is no entry fee to the grounds however costs apply for train rides. "
