Railway Viaduct, Picton and Railway Museum, Thirlmere.

 Railway Viaduct at Picton, built of sandstone between 1863 and 1867 is 84 metres long and the highest of the 5 arches is 30 metres.
 NSW Rail Transport Museum at Thirlmere (snuck in via a back entrance) has steam locomotives dating from 1865 to 1957 plus early diesel and electric locomotives on display.
