History buffs and military aficionados can learn a bit more about our past on Sydney Olympic Park’s Heritage Railway, now being offered every Sunday at Newington Armory. Once used to transport WW2 materials, such as weapons and ammunition, around the former Royal Australian Navy Armament Depot site, the Heritage Train is one of Sydney Olympic Park’s most popular attractions.
There are two rail experiences on offer – Riding the Rails, a short 30-minute ride for the whole family aboard the heritage-listed narrow gauge railway; and the Heritage Railway Discovery Tour, a 75-minute guided history lesson with a stop at the Building 39 exhibition, which has a display of missiles, torpedoes and other WW2 materials.
Visitors to the park will also be able to visit the new Their names upon Gallipoli exhibition opening in late March at Bunker 20 at Newington Armory.
The installation, to be held every weekend from Saturday 28 March to Sunday 14 June 2015, features contemporary large format images of the battle sites with video and sound installations commemorating the 100th anniversary of the Gallipoli landing.
