    About Thirlmere

    Named after a lake in The Lakes District of England, Thirlmere is a small township just 95 km south-west of Sydney. Highlights include the rail heritage centre known as Trainworks and nearby Thirlmere Lakes National Park.

    Thirlmere celebrates the traditional start of the steam season with the Thirlmere Festival of Steam on the first Sunday in March. At Thirlmere Lakes you can swim, canoe and enjoy a picnic in an idyllic location. Head along the Golden Triangle, one of the Scenic Drives of Wollondilly that links up Picton, Thirlmere (including Thirlmere Lakes National Park), and Tahmoor before heading back to Picton.
