The Perth Electric Tramway Society provides a regular service over four kilometres of standard gauge track through picnic areas and farmland. You get to experience the clickety-clack of travel by tram, just as it was in yesteryear.
Get your tickets from the tram conductor on board and receive your heritage-style tram ticket before alighting through the Park. Look for one of our many kangaroos or even our cattle on your journey.
Trams operate on a one-directional route commencing in the Village at the Visitor Information Centre before travelling down to the Whiteman Park Station at our Drumpellier Drive entrance.
From there, the tram will travel direct to the Mussel Pool West Stop, before returning to stop at Pia's Place before commencing on to the Village Junction Station and finally completing the 'loop' at the Visitor Information Centre. The entire route takes around 40-minutes so you can sit back and really enjoy the experience!
The heritage tram rides are driven by volunteers, who offer extended running times on weekends, public and school holidays.
Transperth Connection
If you are travelling to the Park via the new Morley-Ellenbrook train line, you can hop aboard the heritage electric trams on their operating days to get into the Village where most of our attractions are located.
To make the most of your visit if using this service, please plan to arrive at the Whiteman Park Station just before 11.00am to catch the first tram connection at 11.10am.
Just remember that the heritage trams are unable to operate when fire bans are in place or in extreme heat, so plan accordingly.
Our top tip? These heritage electric trams travel back and forth on the same line, so be sure to watch as your driver changes the pole at either end of the service!
