Come along and celebrate 100 Years of Burra, a steam locomotive built by the Hawthorne Leslie at Newcastle-On-Tyne England in 1923. The Burra worked at the former Australian Iron & Steel (AIS) colliery at Corrimal from 1923 to 1962. In 1978 the locomotive was donated to the Illawarra Light Railway Museum. After many years of restoration work the Burra was ready for active duty at the Light Railway Museum in 1994. 

The celebrations will be held on Sunday 12 November from 10am to 3 pm at the Illawarra Light Railway Museum, where you will be able to take a train ride with the family and enjoy a picnic on the grounds. Fees apply.
