The Robertson Railway Station was built in 1932 when the Illawarra Mountain Railway was completed. It is now listed with the National Trust & is only open when heritage based journeys are organised.
The station is the destination of the Cockatoo Run which offers one of the most scenic train trips in the country. The vistas from the vintage carriages as passengers ascend the 2000 foot high escarpment from Wollongong, are simply breathtaking. Steam engines are rarely used with trains being pulled by vintage diesels.
