🧭 Why Valley Heights?
Located just off the Great Western Highway, the Valley Heights Locomotive Depot Heritage Museum is a key stop along the emerging Blue Mountains Rail Trail, which aims to celebrate and connect significant railway heritage sites from Lapstone to Oberon. The museum is housed in a restored 1914 locomotive roundhouse – one of the last of its kind in NSW – and is operated by a passionate team of volunteers.
Make It a Weekend Adventure
