Experience the magic of the past as you embark on an unforgettable journey through the lush rainforest of the Dandenong Ranges on board the legendary Puffing Billy steam train. Behold the breathtaking vistas and breathe in the fresh, crisp air, taking in the beauty of the historic locomotive as it chugs along on its hour-long expedition from Belgrave to Lakeside. And if that's not enough, after the ride, wander through a wildlife sanctuary where you can encounter some of Australia's most beloved creatures face-to-face, including koalas, kangaroos, and soaring birds of prey. This adventure will transport you out of the hustle and bustle of city life and into the serene magic of the Dandenong Ranges and Yarra Valley's natural wonders.
