DESCRIPTION
Enjoy a late start to your Sunday with our Steamranger Heritage Railway, Adelaide Hills and Hahndorf tour with a 10.00 am departure from the City of Adelaide. One of our driver guides will show you around the Adelaide Hills and Mount Lofty Ranges, through the quaint villages and picturesque scenery before arriving in the oldest German settlement in Australia, Hahndorf.
