BUXTON AUTUMN FESTIVAL
Steam trains, family fun, market stalls and old style carnival atmosphere
Date: 29 April 2012
Time: 9am – 4pm
Buxton Autumn Festival
Buxton is a small rural village in the heart of Wollondilly, probably better known as the place where the steam trains run to. It is small but typical of most close knit communities that help and support each other. The Buxton Autumn Festival will celebrate village lifestyle and heritage.
The fair will focus around Buxton station with steam trains operating from Thirlmere.
In addition to steam trains, the festival will feature stalls from the popular Creative Traders Markets, live entertainment throughout the day, Devonshire teas, children’s rides and entertainment, photography and period costume competitions.
But, BEWARE if you come to the festival it is rumoured that the Buxton Bushrangers will make an appearance.
The Buxton Bushrangers are friendly but armed. Their grievance is with the troopers not the general public. While they will rob anyone for a gold or silver coin, the Buxton community know they are kind hearted and happy to answer questions about their authentic gear.
Park at Thirlmere and ride the steam train to Buxton.
Make a day of it and visit Trainworks, Australia’s newest and biggest rail experience, and the current temporary exhibition “Innovation by Accident”.
The Buxton community thanks its sponsors especially Trainworks, NSW Rail Transport Museum, Xstrata and the Macarthur Chronicle.
