Romeo has been the back up, works and water train locomotive at Tullah for the past 15 years. He was built in Italy in 1925 and is believed to be the oldest internal combustion loco still operating in Australia. Ahead of a belated 100th birthday celebration to be held sometime next running season (Oct 2026 to April 2027), Romeo has today been transported to Sheffield where he will receive a professional repaint in the Redwater Creek Railway’s paint shop.

Thank you to Nick at Coastal Auto Transport & Towing for getting Romeo there safely!

If you are heading down the West Coast this weekend, visit Tullah and have a ride on the Wee Georgie Wood Steam Railway. This is Georgie’s LAST weekend of operation before the railway closes for winter, when annual maintenance of the track and rolling stock takes place. Trains then return around the first weekend of October.

While in Tullah you can refresh at two cafes, a pub and the Lakeside Lodge, and there’s a servo too.

Additionally, this Saturday is Anzac Day, and at ten to three locals and visitors will gather opposite the Tullah Cottage Cafe and march to the railway station for the annual Anzac service at 3pm. This is followed by refreshments at the Tullah Tavern, including games of two up (bring gold coins) and the Anzac biscuit competition. Visitors to Tullah are most welcome to attend the March, the service and the pub!

Trains run this Saturday and Sunday April 25-26 on demand from 10am to around 230pm. The fare is $12 adults, $25 families with cheaper prices for kids and seniors. Dogs are welcome too!

Georgie is volunteer-run and all income goes into the maintenance, restoration and operation of steam era machinery! We operate along part of the original 1907 tramway past the lake, mountains, through the rainforest and around the old mining township.

If you are looking for a little bit of inexpensive history that is great fun and set in the wild beauty of Tasmania’s West Coast, come visit the Wee Georgie Wood Steam Railway in Tullah this weekend April 11-12.

Georgie is a 102 year old steam locomotive that still takes passengers along part of the old Farrell Tramway, winding his way through the lake, mountain and rainforest scenery on a 25 minute, 2km return journey. Our railway also features Romeo, built in Italy in 1925 and Australia’s oldest internal combustion loco that still operates regularly.

We are cheaper, slower, smaller, shorter and less comfortable than our wonderful friends at the West Coast Wilderness Railway, and you don’t get a glass of champagne.

Trains run on demand from 10am to about 230pm from Tullah railway station, which is the first building on the right has you head south entering Tullah. There are two cafes, two pubs and a servo in town, so break your journey along the Murchison Hwy and come say hi!

The WGWSR is entirely volunteer run and all funds raised go towards keeping this famous piece of Tasmanian history in steam. We only run two weekends per month between October and April so opportunities to ride this season are running out fast! We close for annual maintenance through the colder months.

The fare is $12 adults with cheaper child and concession fares, and a family ticket covering 2 adults and up to 4 kids is heavily discounted to $25. Well behaved dogs are welcome too and travel free. No bookings necessary.
