  • 20-Year State Infrastructure Strategy
    Submission to Infrastructure SA: 20-Year State Infrastructure Strategy GENERAL The Pichi Richi Railway Preservation Society (PRRPS) is a rail based, tourism, not for profit organisation providing rail experiences between Quorn and Port Augusta. The Society started operation in 1974 from Quorn and extended to Pt Augusta in 2001. It has expanded its product range and length and is now 39 kilometres long and offering some 5 distinct products delivered by in excess of 69 train services per annum. The workshop facilities and main operations base are at Quorn. The customer base comprises intrastate, interstate and international visitors. Most of the customers have planned holidays around trips on one of rail services. As rail experiences are roughly ½ day in length, patrons of PRRPS’s services generally spend visitor nights at Quorn, Pt Augusta or close by. The PRRPS operates over the original Ghan railway line and given the Ghan’s history, interest and media exposure the term “Ghan” has strong brand recognition. The majority of customers have deliberately planned to visit the railway with a lesser number making a spur of the moment decision should they see a train in the Station. The society recognises the need to grow and along that line has appointed a Business Development Manager. The job is to specifically increase patronage but operating in a 2+ year time frame. A large proportion of bookings are made up to one year in advance which suggests pre-planning at some time before that. New products are in the planning stage including those which will enable us to operate in fire ban periods.

  • Gawler Ranges: a Short Break Away
    The Gawler Ranges: A short break away 15 March to 26 March 2018 Trip Leaders: Geoff and Anita H General The trip to the Gawler Ranges is intended to be a relaxed trip around the region, providing participants with an opportunity for 4WD touring and sightseeing, R&R or a combination of both. The trip will be suitable for tents and off road trailers / caravans. The dates have been deliberately chosen as they fall between the Labour Day weekend and Easter and avoid school holidays, which should maximise our chances of less crowded campsites and 4WD tracks. The intention is to explore the various areas from base camps, which will avoid the need to take trailers etc on the tracks. The standard of 4WDing will be moderate (based on our research), but recovery gear should be carried just in case. There is no limit on the number of participants but most camping areas in the Gawler Ranges can accommodate 10 vehicles. We have booked a site for ourselves at Kolay Hut Campground, an unallocated camp ground. Unfortunately our booking has not guaranteed exclusive access to this Campground so, to ensure that we are able to camp together, it would be advisable for other participants to book sooner rather than later. Itinerary March 15: Spear Creek Caravan Park The trip will officially start at the Spear Creek Caravan Park, which is located 25 kms or half an hour south east of Port Augusta. Set immediately adjacent to the Western slopes of the Flinders Ranges in the middle of a 7000ha working sheep station, Spear Creek provides privacy and security.
