Our journey with trains began with my hunt for children’s activities in Ipswich. You would be hard pressed to find a better facility for children than the Ipswich Railway Workshops. Ben loves it. We have been visiting nearly every week. There is always lots to do. More recently we have gone with Joseph and Oliver (Ben’s friends) and their mums Bree and Emily. The boys are always busy.
We thought we would take the boys interest one step further and take them on a train trip. We decided on Ipswich to Indooropilly Shopping Centre. The train trip was a success. Ben eventually sat still and was amazed watching out the window.
More recently we went on a steam train outing from the Railway Workshops. The journey was about one and a half hours from the workshops at North Ipswich to Ebenezer via Walloon and back again. Grandma and Poppy came along for the ride and to help chase Ben up and down the train. The smell, the soot and changing a nappy on a crowded 100 year old train….. it was great but I’m not rushing back!
