An old favourite returned Saturday 22nd June as the museum held it’s ever popular ‘Trams After Dark’ to mark the 2024 winter solstice. Despite the wet weather, thousands turned up to experience tram rides in Sydney trams R1 1979 and P 1497, as well as Nagasaki car 1054.
Shuttles in 1980’s heritage buses by Mitch Petersen and Joel Gorton were operated between the museum and Sutherland, where visitors could grab a bite to eat at the unique ‘Car Hole Cafe’.
In addition, displays and stalls from the Illawarra Light Railway Museum, MV Cape Don society and Railway Coins by Cale Seamer were held, giving these great groups extra exposure. We were also grateful for a visit by our local State MP Maryanne Stuart who made it clear to us she enjoyed her time at the event.
Thank you to everyone who made this night a success. If you missed out, check out the photos and videos below!
