Kids are roaring ahead of Bulla Hill Railway’s Bring Your Dinosaur for a Ride Day.
The dino day promises to be a fun family day out, with train rides running all day offering views of the Macedon Ranges.
Importantly, all dinosaurs will ride the rails for free.
Assistant secretary of the railway Brian Parkinson said its an event you can’t miss.
“We are anticipating a great turnout of dinosaurs,” he said.
“It’s very important that you hold your dinosaur tight as you go through our new tunnel so they don’t get scared and jump off.”
Ride the rails with picturesque views of the Macedon Ranges in the background, as kids can try to spot some friendly dinosaurs track-side.
“You can go around and count the dinosaurs, and you’ve got to be able to find Rex the Dinosaur in his little kennel, if you find Rex you can go tell the kiosk ladies where you find the dinosaur, they will give you a dinosaur stamp,” Mr Parkinson said.
Mr Parkinson said the railway is run entirely by volunteers, and they are always looking for new members 15 years and older. Prospective members are encouraged to come along, with membership by approval only costing $20 per year, with the ability to learn how to drive the trains for free.
The Bring Your Dinosaur for a Ride Day will be happening on Sunday, July 20, at the Bulla Hill Railway, 15 Green Street, Bulla. The day will be running from 11am to 4pm, with the last train chugging along at 3.45pm.
Tickets will cost $5 for everyone over the age of 12 months.
