We had a wonderful Sunday recently when Eddie and I plus several of our friends went on a trip aboard the “Spirit of the West” Restaurant train from East Perth station all the way through the Avon Valley to Toodyay. Five star dining in five star restored original carriages complete with five star service. It was a fantastic experience which we will definitely repeat. It was lovely to be able to sit back and relax, enjoy the beautiful scenery of the Avon Valley in the company of friends while being waited on constantly. Here is one view from the window of the carriage. The second photo is a view inside one of the restored railway carriages which date from the turn of the last century. They are so opulent and just sitting in one makes you feel special!! That’s Eddie on the left, with Mike, Pam, Wally, Julie and Phil.
