Since taking its debut trip in 1994, the Blues Train, founded by music industry veteran Hugo T Armstrong, has become a popular live music event for anyone enamoured by delta blues, down-home blues and most other sub-genres you could shake a harmonica at. The appeal is much broader than the blues itself though: how many other steam-train journeys offer raucous live music and hearty food on the fly?
Each event starts and ends at the historic Queenscliff Station. It’s a five-hour train ride that includes bar service, a buffet dinner, four 30-minute performances from local blues artists and a journey along the historic Bellarine Railway, which is maintained by volunteers from the Geelong Steam Preservation Society.
