Calliope River Historical Society

The Calliope River Historical Village Country Markets and Railway Museum are situated on the Bruce Highway at Calliope, 6 klms north of the Calliope crossroads. Markets are held regularly with stall holders coming from as far as the Gold Coast. Nearby are 24 hour driver facilities offering a great stop when on long trips. Tours operate 7 days a week. The Railway museum is open daily and exhibits include a model railway. The collection includes horse-drawn wagons and farm equipment, hand tools, gramophones, dolls and hats to household items and furniture. We also operate mini steam train rides for kids and parents alike. The Railway facilities include a Queensland Rail coach, two camp wagons and the Yarwun station.
