For something decidedly different and entirely enjoyable, Queenscliff's legendary Blues Train is one of the Geelong region's most spectacular dining and entertainment experiences.
Nothing captures the spirit of the blues quite like a steam train and anyone who's witnessed the delights of the start of the Great Ocean Road, at Queenscliff, Victoria, from the nostalgic ambience of the Blues Train has experienced something truly special.
As the the Legendary Blues Train makes its way between stops, gently rocking from side-to-side, seemingly in beat with the music coming from the bands, patrons sit back in comfort enjoying both the scenery of the Bellarine Peninsula and the entertainment over a beer or wine.
The Blues Train departs Queenscliff between the months of October and May, offering a unique musical meal and show. With a capacity of 200 (50 in each of the four carriages) it has become enormously popular as a function venue and can accommodate parties of one to 200 people for a unique dinner and show - including weddings, birthday parties, corporate functions, christmas celebrations and special occasions. You can even get gift vouchers for that someone special.
The Blues Train event begins at the historic town of Queenscliff (home of the Bellarine Railway and the Queenscliff Music Festival). The Blues Train leaves Queenscliff Railway Station after guests have enjoyed a delicious meal, complemented by fine Australian and local wines. Drinks to take on the journey are available on the platform from the T-bar in the guard's van, open at each of the four stops.
At each stop revellers swap carriages to find a new band tuning-up ready for the next act. One of the carriages only has seating running along each wall. The seating arrangement and up-beat music in this carriage leaves little option other than getting up for a bit of a boogie.
The Blues Train is a over 18's event only.
