NSW Rail Journey to the Leeton Art Deco Festival

Eight-day escorted rail journey from Sydney to Temora via Australia's Art Deco Festival

Railway Adventures operates this eight-day escorted rail adventure from Sydney to Temora through rural New South Wales, visiting some of Australia's most remote branch lines. Travellers journey through the Southern Highlands, South West Slopes, and Riverina on a private heritage train, stopping in small towns where main streets have changed little in decades. The centrepiece is the gala dinner at Leeton's Australian Art Deco Festival, encouraging guests to pack their best 1920s attire. Off-train experiences include drinks in a historic tall bar, dining among vintage aircraft, and time to chat with locals and enjoy cold beer on country pub verandahs. Tour leaders Barbara Wass and Duncan Wass guide the journey throughout. This tour suits repeat rail travellers seeking lesser-known routes, history enthusiasts, couples looking for a structured escape, and those who value guided comfort over independent exploration.
