Australian Sugar Cane Railway

Bundaberg Steam Tramway Preservation Society Incorporated (BSTPS) trading as Australian Sugar Cane Railway (ASCR) is located on Al Steward Drive inside the Bundaberg Botanic Gardens off Mount Perry Rd, North Bundaberg, Queensland, Australia.

The Australian Sugar Cane Railway takes you on a 2km circuit through the Bundaberg Botanic Gardens. The journey takes you across several bridges and ponds, through the heart of the locomotive workshop, past the Friendship Grove, around the Woodworkers Guild forest, past the Chinese gardens and other attractions such as Café 1928, Hinkler House, Hinkler Hall of Aviation, the Rare Fruit Orchard and Australian Rainforest, Fairymead House and the Bundaberg Historical Museum.

We are disability friendly and wheelchair accessible (we have an approved access ramp for placing wheelchairs or mobility scooters into carriages).

The society is a non-profit organisation which is operated and maintained by volunteers and celebrated 25 years of operation in November 2013. The aim of the society is to restore, maintain and operate steam locomotives which were used in the Bundaberg district to haul sugar cane to juice and sugar mills within the Bundaberg region, bring awareness to present and future generations and also to showcase the machinery previously used by our pioneering families.
