About

Located on the Busselton Foreshore and adjacent to the Busselton Jetty, Railway House is home to the Busselton Visitor Centre and the over 150-year-old and beautifully restored Ballaarat Steam Engine.

Nearby is the northern terminus of the Wadandi Track, stretching from Busselton via Cowaramup and Margaret River to Augusta (sections still to be completed).

Built in 1894, the original Busselton Railway Station was located in Stanley Street, Busselton, it served the community for over 90 years before being decommissioned. In 1987 the station was relocated to the public open space at the town's entrance. It was later moved to the Busselton Foreshore in 2016 and skillfully incorporated into what is now known as today's "Railway House". Here you will enjoy stories of Busselton's past and present.

A surprisingly detailed museum room attached to the information centre relating to the early train network that bought out the timber from the forest in the 1900’s. The train on display is the restored original which had sat in the park for all to climb on for decades
