COVID-19 update: 23 November 2020

South Australia's COVID-19 restrictions have eased and Pichi Richi Railway is pleased to advise that the Sundowner Explorer service will operate as scheduled on 28 November 2020. We thank our customers and volunteers for their patience.
Additionally, customers wishing to travel in 2021 are advised that bookings are now open. Please note that following Pichi Richi Railway's re-opening in June 2020, most of our train services were booked out due to strong demand and reduced capacity. We expect this may continue into 2021. To avoid disappointment you may wish to start planning your 2021 visit to Port Augusta, Quorn and the beautiful Flinders Ranges.
