Wow thanks for sharing this, I didn't know one had been uploaded to Tocumwal!
If you're rich, there's a couple of heritage trains running up to Mildura this year. The one in June has already been booked out, but I believe there's another in either August or October. But the tickets are really pricey.
My personal line I wish I could ride is the one from Horsham to Carpolac. I've done it by car, and it just looks like it would've been such a peaceful ride, even if the largest towns along it only had a couple hundred people
I'm going to check it out anyway. The boys would love it and Mildura is one of the few places it would be worth getting the train to rather than just driving
It looks like the one in August is actually going to Murrayville as well. https://www.slowrailjourneys.com.au/post/15-20-august-take-the-path-less-travelled-on-the-sunraysia-exploring-mildura-murrayville-the-mur
I've checked these out and they are quite expensive. They also seem more geared towards the older crowd than young families, but I might be able to make one work at some point down the line
