Seven - O - Seven Operations Inc. is a non-profit organisation, established in 1980 dedicated to the restoration and operation of vintage steam and diesel locomotives along with heritage carriages, some which date from the early 1920's. Seven - O - Seven Operations Inc. operates regular excursions to a wide variety of destinations throughout the state and we are also available for charter by groups and organisations for a special day out, with a difference. We are based at the Newport Railway Workshops, which were built in the early 1880's. The workshops are also the birthplace of many of our carriages. These facilities at Newport enable us to keep our heritage fleet of diesels and carriages in running order for your next excursion with us. We always welcome new members as well as new volunteer workers. There are always many tasks that we require assistance to complete.

School holidays and so many visitors to the Scienceworks handled well. Yes a line up to get in. You can buy on line and miss this bit. A busy day went so well with my 6 year old charge. We moved around easily and we didn’t wait to use the interactive displays. Time spent in the pump house building and meeting the challenge of no sticky tape. Great fun.

Wow, impressive! I visited the Maritime Museum with my niece and her two boys aged 11 and 9. On arrival two gentlemen working on a new display case were most welcoming. The volunteer guides are extremely passionate and knowledgeable, best of all, are happy to take you on a tour or be guided by items/displays in any order that may excite accompanying children in particular! They are very flexible and on hand to assist at any time. I was particularly taken by the breadth of the displayed items, there is something for everyone. The Museum also engages in the history of Melbourne that visitors may not be aware of, ie the partial collapse of the Westgate Bridge during construction. Such historical photos, charts and texts lead into further useful discussions long after a visit. We learnt so much and will definitely return. An absolute highlight was meeting Alf and his wife. Alf spent his working life as a deep sea diver, be it ocean work , lakes or the Yarra River - possibly called in for police work. He explained all facets of coping with the heavy suit and bell, breathing underwater, the associated pressure and how returning from such depths needed to be handled carefully (decompression). Thank you both for your generosity! Just one small point, the 'Maritime Museum' sign is quite small and we nearly missed it in the window. A gem of a Museum indeed.
