The cottage , built in 1850, acts as a backdrop to the Enchanted Water Garden

Approximately 18 years ago, Graham the Train Master & Princess Rose , began a quest to design & construct a model railway, based on FANTASY themes using G scale trains. These are larger than the traditional HO scale, with G being able to operate outdoors if required.



On December 5th 2019, the MAGICAL & COLOURFUL KINGDOM OF PENOLARAYA, celebrated TEN years of being open & is DELIBERATELY designed for ALL ages to enjoy.

The Kingdom of Penolaraya covers TWO houses blocks & is a GIANT PIECE of FANTASY / SURREALISTIC art, which visitors immerse themselves in as they wander about.

During the 10 years, the attraction has entertained HUNDREDS of visitors from around Australia & indeed the planet.

NOBODY HAS SEEN A THEME COMBINATION OF THIS TYPE BEFORE, WRAPPED AROUND A MODEL RAILWAY.

The Kingdom it truly UNIQUE.
