1. Puffing Billy Railway

Puffing Billy is an unmissable tourist attraction on a Melbourne tour. A centuries-old coal train steams along the scenic Dandenong Ranges from Belgrave to Gembrook.

The railway first opened in the early 1900s as part of a network of narrow-gauge lines used to develop rural areas and transport goods. Later in the 1950s, this train was discontinued as road traffic increased. It was re-opened in the 1960s by dedicated volunteers who restored it as a heritage railway.

This train journey gives us a nostalgic experience. The trip will witness beautiful scenery including lush forests, fern gullies, and picturesque countryside. Representing a unique tradition on Puffing Billy, passengers still sit on the carriage sills and dangle their legs over the sides on the Puffing Billy train ride.
