21.01.2022 The board and members of Don River Railway are saddened by the passing of our President, Paul Templar. Paul was one of our many unsung heroes at the railway and will be remembered as a treasured contributor to our society. In respect, our last train service today (Sunday) will be at 1:30pm and we will not be running any public services tomorrow (Monday). Thanks for your understanding, #DRR

13.01.2022 Thanks to Erin and ABC Australia for sharing our want of enticing more people to Tasmania and experiencing what we have to offer at #DRR. Our little railway has so much potential and to see it all come to fruition we need the help and support of our governments, otherwise we will run out of steam.

11.01.2022 Bring your hats, it’s going to be warm! Fun for the whole family too with the added attraction of a jumping castle today at #DRR

08.01.2022 Our steam locomotive M4 is having her boiler inspected at the moment. We are taking the time to give her some love as well. We've covered her in some primer ready for a fresh coat of green.

08.01.2022 It’s the long weekend so we’ve decided we’ll put M4 on the front of our train for this Saturday and Sunday with the railcar operating on Monday. We hope to see you at #DRR!
