LOCATED IN WHITEMAN PARK, 16KM FROM THE CITY OF PERTH, WESTERN AUSTRALIA
Bennett Brook Railway is proudly owned and operated by members of the Western Australian Light Railway Preservation Association Inc. The Association was formed on the 26th of April 1976 by a group of friends who shared an interest in the lesser known narrow gauge railways of Western Australia. Construction of the Bennett Brook Railway was started in the early 1980’s.
Starting from small beginnings in a member’s backyard, the railway has evolved to a fully fledged railway operation based in Whiteman Park. Today it encompasses relocated heritage railway infrastructure using heritage locomotives and carriages from all over Australia and the world.
We aim to preserve Western Australian railway heritage and to provide a unique railway experience through the bushland of Whiteman Park.
