The Veolia Mulwaree Trust recently granted $18,000 for the build of the South Coast Railway History Museum, which is expected to open in late 2018. 

Milton Ulladulla Model Railway Club president Bob Goodwin welcomed the funding. 

“The grant will allow us to build the actual walls inside for the museum and the toilets. We are very much pleased to be successful,” he said. 

“If we hadn’t got that, it would have held us up quite a bit. We will now be able to get most of the work done.”

The Veolia grant follows at $30,000 NSW Government grant directed to the project in March this year. 

The museum will highlight the early industrial railways in the Ulladulla region, Mr Goodwin said. 

“Many of these early railways were horse-drawn tramways built to transport timber logs to local sawmills, as well as silica from local mines to harbour wharves at Bendalong and Mollymook,” he said.
