    Important Announcement

    The Daylesford Spa Country Railway advises that as a result of the bushfire on 23 February 2009, the section of track between the 73 and 74 mileposts is unsafe due to falling trees.

    As such, no unauthorised access to this area.

    Daylesford Bushfires - Information

    The fires on the evening of 23 February 2009 at Daylesford have burnt out 1.6 km (1 mile) of track between Daylesford and Musk. This is the entire forest section between the 73 and 74 mile post.

    DSCR members that have inspected the damage have an initial assessment of 80-90% of the sleepers (approx. 2000) having been totally destroyed along with the pit logs near the 74 mile post.

    Rail operations continue at the DSCR with a shuttle service from Daylesford to the beginning of the burnt area.

    Fifteen minute round trips depart at 10.15, 11.00, 11.30, 12.00, 12.30, 13.00, 13.45 and 14.30.
