One of the Museum's best kept secrets is our Bushland Cruise into the Royal National Park.
And we're now in the wattle season
. It's beautiful!
Our first ride for the day is the the 10.15 into the park thence every hour at "a quarter past".
This is a great time of year to visit us. Our part of the renowned Sutherland Shire is perched on a ridge and enjoys clear, bracing air.
There are regular trips by tram on offer, different trams operating on two different lines.
A range of earlier trams can be seen in the Display Hall.
Light refreshments can be purchased in our kiosk and there's a bookshop, too.
Care to become a volunteer?
There's always room for more people to help us. You don't need to be a tram expert!.It's fun and it's interesting. Details
Why do we have a Sydney Tramway Museum?
For a century, trams were an important part of everyday life in Sydney, taking people to work, school, the beaches, the footy and cricket, the races, the "pictures" and even the Royal Easter Show. Wouldn't it be great to wind back the clock to the days when a fleet of 1,400 trams – more than twice as many as Melbourne has today – ran along 180 miles (about 290km) of routes?
You can... at the Sydney Tramway Museum! Jump on a classic early model tram, or a "modern" corridor tram. You'll also see trams from other states and overseas. In our Display Hall, see the unique prison tram used for transport between Long Bay Gaol and Darlinghurst Court House for more than 40 years.
The Sydney Tramway Museum provides a nostalgic and educational insight into the lifestyle of Sydneysiders during the 100 year period of tramway operation from 1861 to 1961, with running and restoration works-in-progress, exhibits and photos depicting the development and operation of tramways during this period.
Visitors to Sydney and those just keen to experience the past are welcome to simply call in at our advertised times for a pleasant and interesting day.
