Stepping aboard history

This weekend, Heirloom Catering Co. had the privilege of catering in the Dining Car of the Spirit of Progress — a magnificent 1937 carriage that once carried passengers in elegance between Melbourne and Sydney.

Seventy-five feet of corten steel, once fitted for 48 diners at twelve tables, this carriage has lived many lives — a dining room, a dance car, even a school excursion recreation space — before being lovingly restored to its original blue-and-gold livery.

For us, it was the perfect setting to welcome guests travelling from Melbourne to Ballarat for the Foto Biennale. Bringing people together with fine food, in a space designed for journeys and conversation, felt like an experience that bridged past and present.

At Heirloom Catering Co., we believe food is best when it’s part of a story — and few venues tell a story as powerfully as this historic train.
