A few years back I took the kids to the annual Diamond Valley Railway Teddy Bears picnic on the Queen's Birthday long weekend.
This event is very popular, especially given that children who take a teddy bear ride for free!
Despite the weather being a bit fresh we had a great time riding on the miniature and playing at the Eltham Lower Playground next to the miniature railway. For a full review click [Link http://www.weekendnotes.com/diamond-valley-miniature-railway/ here].
Tip: Be prepared for it to be really busy and expect waiting times to be longer than normal.
