| The Legendary Blues Train |
"1 Steam Train, 4 Carriages, 200 people, Victoria's Best Blues Musicians - A progressive party you'll never forget."
Nothing captures the spirit of the blues quite like a steam train. Listening to the train whistle and the clickety-clack you can imagine the old blues masters jamming it up on Mississippi freight trains as they were “ridin’ the blinds” around America’s Deep South. Queenscliff is home to the world’s one and only Blues Train. It is a unique experience that combines four of Australia’s best live blues performers and the beautiful scenery of the Bellarine. Travel on the Drysdale railway line whilst aboard a real moving vintage steam train. It is one of Australia’s most spectacular entertainment experiences.
You might not think you know blues music, but you don’t have to know the blues to love The Blues Train. They say that the blues had a baby and they called it rock and roll so anyone who’s ever tapped their toes to the Rolling Stones or The Blues Brothers will have a great time getting up close and personal with The Blues Train’s four fantastic acts. It’s a music festival in one night and a progressive party you’ll never forget.
