Healesville Railways Show for 2009

The Healesville railway show in 2009 was a great success with over 2000 people attending the show.

The real benefit of the show was that the show brought people back to the Yarra Valle after the terrible Black Saturday bush fires. To see just how big the impact the show had there is an article in the Autumn 2009 clickty clack that talks of the impact of the show.

Thank you to all who attended the Healesville Railway Show in 2009 and for supporting the community in the Yarra Valle. Please find below photos of the 2009 railway show. Please note that these pictures were taken at the end of the day when there was less people around.
