Great little set up for the kids, and on occasions they even have a"Thomas" train done up, which the kids just love. Enclosed footware must be worn, simple little ride around the wetlands area, and plenty of parking.Very enthusiastic team of people running the trains make for an enjoyable morning out.

Had a great time winding through the beautiful wetlands of Richmond Park on the Casino Miniature Railway. First train trip was hauled by diesel locomotive #1207. A second train trip later in the day was hauled by a miniature red steam locomotive. It's about a 20 to 25 minute train ride.

We were at Casino for the long weekend and were at the mini railway's 17th anniversary two-day birthday run. Very enjoyable for the whole family.

The train drivers and members of the Casino Mini Railway are very enthusiastic. You could tell by the detail that much time and work has gone into the planning and construction of the locomotives, railway carriages, track work and railroad buildings of this mini railway.

Part way through the train trip you can disembark at the old Casino Train Station which has been developed into a railway museum. The railway museum contains photographs and artifacts of Casino's railroad history.

We purchased hot pies from the kiosk and ate our picnic lunch at the sheltered tables provided.

The railway runs every Sunday 10am to 4pm, also public holidays and throughout Beef Week (May?). I recommend you visit their website to look at their photo gallery and to enquire about special functions.

To find Richmond Park and the miniature railway, head north on West Street which becomes Summerland Way (Route 91), cross the train line, its on the right just after the golf course. Turn right into Queensland Road for car parking. It's an easy drive from Lismore. We came from Byron Bay, but it's an easy day out from Ballina, Lennox Head, Bangalow, Alstonville and the North Coast area.

Note, you need enclosed footwear to ride the train.

Say you found the place using WOMOW!

Approximate cost: $4
