    The Experience

    TOOT TOOT ALL ABOARD!

    The whistle sounds and we are on our way!

    Best described as a mini music festival on a moving heritage train, this one of a kind experience departs from the seaside town of Queenscliff and will have you rocking and rolling all the way along the Bellarine Railway.

    In-between showing off your best dance moves or casually grooving to the tunes, you’ll be able to take in the picturesque views of the sun setting behind Swan Bay. Plus, there’s interval stops at railway platforms along the Bellarine Peninsula for you to rest, refresh and get ready to swap carriages for a totally new artist, duo or band.

    DRINKS AT THE T-BAR

    Share a drink with your best mates.

    Grab your crew and head up to the T-Bar where you’ll be greeted by our friendly bar staff. The T-Bar is stocked with a wide range of local beverages that will be sure to quench your thirst. Whether you fancy an award-winning wine, craft beer, cider, or spirits, we’ve got you covered. We’ve also got cans of soft drink and bottles of water on hand for the designated drivers in your group.

    Now that you’ve got a bit of pep in your step, you’re just about ready to get groovy and make some new mates.

    A GREAT FEED

    A hearty blues inspired feast.

    As you arrive on the night, you’ll smell the delicious aromas of smoky BBQ Angus beef and creamy baked mustard chicken wafting down the station platform. And we’ve got delectable vegetable side dishes and salads that pair with it perfectly, including everyone’s favourite – steamy hot baked potatoes.

    If you need a bit of spice in your life, then keep a lookout for our epic hot sauce tower, it’s a favourite for regular travellers!

    And if you’re still hungry after your first plate, don’t be afraid to head back up for seconds, we won’t judge!

    SHAKE RATTLE AND ROLL!

    You’ll see all four live acts!

    We’ve handpicked Australia’s greatest, award-winning Blues performers and they’re ready to entertain and enthral you! At each of the 3 stops in the journey you’ll change carriages, so everyone on board gets to see all four amazing artists. Each carriage has a different style of artist to take you on a progressive blues journey over the night.

    What if I’m not into the Blues you ask? Don’t worry! Many of your fellow travellers don’t know their blues from their oranges; all you need to know is how to have a rocking good time!

    MAKE FRIENDS AND HAVE FUN!

    It’s time to let loose in the Loose Caboose!

    Don’t expect to be sitting in your seat all night just watching our artists, get up on your feet and show off your best dance moves. As the train chugs along, you’ll find it hard to stop yourself from swaying, swinging and shimmying along to the music. By the end of your journey, we guarantee most of you will be up and dancing with 50 of your new best mates!

    Whether you come with friends, colleagues, your loved one or in a large group, you’re bound to have a night to remember on board Australia’s premier entertainment venue.

    How It Works

    DON’T JUST TAKE OUR WORD FOR IT

    Check out what our past travellers had to say about their experience.

    The brilliant Blues Train The Blues Train is a fantastic night out (or afternoon as I’ve done a lunch too). Starting with the excellent food, finishing when the train pulls back in. It’s the best foot stomping, hip swinging, singing and dancing fun you can have! And your ears will love all the sweet tunes!

    What a crazy, fun night!!! How much fun do you want? A train ride with a difference ..... four different bands performing in four separate carriages, dinner (USA style pull-pork, chicken, salads etc), drinks available for purchase, good raging fun especially if you get a group of friends together! Highly recommended!

    Fun! A fun night out with friends. Food, Wine, Music, Ambience. Laughter & fun with “new friends” met on the train. Good for a once off ( but certainly could go again)

    You Got Me Singin The Blues We had the best night on the Blues Train...great food, plenty of wine, and fabulous, varied entertainment from each of the 4 acts. It was fun at each stop, making our way to a new carriage and wondering about the music to come, and because we were with the same people each time, it was like a big family celebration, but so much better! Hugo T. Armstrong, founder and frontman, went out of his way to ensure we had an amazing experience! Thanks Hugo and crew!!!

    Blues Train Fun Night Great night with friends, our first Blues Train experience. For the 6 of us, starting in carriage D, we enjoyed a filling meal, fresh & tasty. We enjoyed the entertainment in each of the carriages. Our only thoughts, it would be wonderful to have 2 dance carriages, as there is little space available to dance in other carriages. All in all it was a fun night.

    Don’t Miss This The Queenscliff Blues Train is an experience not very well known outside Victoria. We loved the four different acts in a unique setting with a very appreciative audience. Find it. Book it. Experience it! The only downside was a group of “young uns” who wanted to have a loud conversation during one of the quieter acts - not considerate of the audience nor the musicians.

    Whole Carriage Booking I recently made a booking of an entire carriage for myself and friends to celebrate a birthday. Right from the booking date, months ago, the Blues Train staff were so patient with me while I went into panic mode and hassled them endlessly with my questions. All were answered courteously and timely. I received constant updates and reminder emails in the lead up and tips on where to stay. As we were a large booking (52 people), we were given merch packs for guests, personal attention from staff, great choice of food, and great bands on the night. Staff were always on hand to help out with any of our needs and my guests and myself all had an amazing night. It took the stress away from having to organise caterers or entertainment, leaving me to enjoy my guests. Highly recommended.
