Alpenrail is one of the largest model railway layouts in Australia exhibiting such incredible craftsmanship to be rated as one of the top 5 models worldwide! Some of the model represents a real area in Switzerland that has been recognized by countless visitors. For more information about the model visit our “About Us” page.
Alpenrail now also features “Wildwoods Realm of Feary”, our beautifully landscaped Fairy Garden, the home of countless fairies, elves, goblins. Here you will find lovely fairy houses, fairy figurines and statues scattered throughout the gardens. The fairy gardens are a little girls delight, and a pleasure for adults to stroll around. Fairy wings are available to wear whilst in the gardens. For more information visit the “Fairy Gardens” pages.
We will endeavor to provide you with some information about our Tourist Attractions and we hope that you will get the opportunity to visit us to fully experience this little bit of Switzerland in Claremont, Tasmania, as well as our tranquil garden of fantasy.
