🚂 Goldfields & The Prospector Rail Journey
Tour Recap | 28 April – 2 May 2025

What a week! Our travellers had a blast on this Goldfields getaway, led by the wonderful Amanda, Villa's amazing tour leader.

The adventure kicked off with a high-speed ride aboard The Prospector to Kalgoorlie, followed by sightseeing aboard Ruby the Tram, visits to the legendary Super Pit and Hannan’s North Tourist Mine, and the fascinating Ghost Town of Gwalia. The Golden Quest Discovery Trail offered plenty of hidden treasures—and so did a stop at the camel farm! 🐪

A highlight for many? Trying their hand at two-up – a true nod to outback tradition that had everyone smiling! 😄

Thanks to all who joined us—what a golden journey it was! ✨

Step back in time and into country charm on our Moondyne Festival & York Treasures tour! 🎩🍂

From the drama and delight of Toodyay’s Moondyne Festival to the fascinating finds of York’s Motor Museum, the historic Old York Mill, and the delicious York Olive Oil Co. our travellers experienced the best of the Avon Valley. Along the way, we explored the Mundaring Weir, strolled the charming streets of Chidlow, and soaked up the authentic wheatbelt beauty of Beverley and Brookton.

Patricia C. shared these kind words about her experience:

“The Toodyay holiday was excellent in every respect… Mick and Donna were superb in their attention to the comfort and enjoyment of all… The Moondyne Festival was packed with fun – parades, folk dancing, bush poetry, raptor shows, country music, and the friendliest people everywhere. Thank you for a superb holiday!”

We could not have asked for a more memorable getaway. Thank you to all our wonderful passengers – and to the coach captain Mick and tour leader Donna for making it extra special! ❤️
