Morwell Rose Garden Festival - Saturday 7th November 2026
Advertisement
Join us aboard The Vintage Train as we venture east to the Morwell International Rose Garden Festival behind an R class steam locomotive.
TICKETS AND MORE INFO - www.trybooking.com/DPVRW
Departing Newport, Southern Cross (pick-up only), Flinders Street, Caulfield, Dandenong or Pakenham Stations, the train will steam from the heart of Melbourne through to the rapidly expanding southeastern suburbs. Reminiscent of the glory days of 'The Gippslander' an express run will be had towards the Latrobe Valley. After flying beyond the overhead and leaving the suburbs behind, our train will enter the lush farming country of West Gippsland. Relax onboard as the locomotive works hard to tackle the steep grades of Longwarry Bank, through the valley and onto the mysterious Haunted Hills before arriving at Morwell Railway Station.
MORWELL INTERNATIONAL ROSE GARDEN FESTIVAL
Showcasing the international award-winning Rose Garden in the heart of Morwell and celebrating the work of the Friends of the Rose Garden Volunteers, the Festival promises to be a blooming spectacle of colour and light for all ages. Explore the roses, take part in a range of free activities, treat your taste buds to a traditional Devonshire Tea at the CWA marquee or partake in retail therapy at the garden and market stalls. The festival’s favourite gardening guru, Costa Georgiadis will chat about all things gardening and sustainability.
There is more to see and do than just the garden, including the Festival Tour Bus, carrying passengers to Old Gippstown, Powerworks and Immigration Park. Outside of the festival, you can wander town, which has many pubs, cafes and restaurants, plus the Latrobe Regional Gallery.
Reboard the train for a mid afternoon departure from Morwell. The engine will work hard to climb towards Hearnes Oak before picking up speed and heading west towards the setting sun, finishing a memorable day out onboard The Vintage Train!
