Ride the historic Horse Drawn Tram across
The Causeway to Granite Island. The
Tramway commenced operation in 1894
and is one of two remaining in the world
that operate a daily service
You can learn some of the history of the
Tramway, The Causeway and the region
from the photo displays inside the trams.
The replica trams were built in 1986, based
on the original design, but extended by two
windows and given extra headroom. They
weigh 4.8tonnes each and use roller
bearings to minimise rolling effort. A single
tram driver can roll one out of the barn on
their own! A working Clydesdale weighs
between 800 to 1000kg, but only needs to
use 80kg of weight to start the tram rolling.
You may purchase a return ticket or ride
oneway and make a leisurely stroll the
other. The Tramway operates every day,
except for Christmas Day, from 10.30am
until 4.00pm.
