Embark on a Scenic Adventure to the ShoalhavenA Berry Nice Escape Awaits! WISH TO ENJOY EARLY BIRD DISCOUNTS? PURCHASE YOUR TICKET(S) BY FRIDAY 25TH SEPTEMBER 2026(Full details in Fare Catergories) Step aboard for an unforgettable journey along the breathtaking South Coast, where every moment is filled with natural beauty, coastal charm, and relaxed exploration. Departing from Sydney, this scenic rail adventure invites you to sit back, unwind, and soak in sweeping views of the Pacific Ocean as the train winds its way through the lush greenery of the Royal National Park and along the spectacular coastline. Fans of the iconic Cockatoo Run will recognise the early stages of the journey, as we travel through some of Australia’s most celebrated coastal routes. At Unanderra, the adventure continues south—rather than climbing the escarpment, we follow the sparkling coastline, passing through the picturesque seaside towns of Kiama and Gerringong before arriving at the historic village of Berry. On arrival in Berry, you’re free to explore at your own pace. Wander through the renowned Berry Markets, where over 200 stalls showcase a delightful mix of handmade crafts, local produce, and unique treasures. Or take a leisurely stroll through the town’s charming streets, rich with history dating back to its origins in dairy farming and cedar cutting. Looking for a coastal detour? You can choose to disembark at Kiama, where dramatic ocean views, pristine beaches, the famous blowhole, and scenic walking trails offer a perfect seaside escape or continue to Bomaderry where the train turns for the return jounry to Sydney.
