Description

Your adventure begins with a scenic drive from Melbourne to the charming town of Belgrave. As you travel through Melbourne’s outer suburbs, your driver-guide will share fascinating stories about the region’s history and landscape. Upon arriving in Belgrave, step aboard the historic Puffing Billy steam train, one of the world’s best-preserved heritage railways. This nostalgic journey takes you through the stunning Dandenong Ranges, crossing the Monbulk Creek Trestle Bridge. With open-sided carriages, you’ll feel the fresh air as you pass through lush forests, offering stunning views of towering trees and fern gullies. As you wind through the serene beauty of the Dandenongs, look for native wildlife. The steam train provides a rare opportunity to experience the area's natural wonders while learning about its rich history. At Lakeside, the journey continues with time to explore the tranquil Emerald Lake Park. Take a peaceful walk along scenic trails, capture memorable photos by the train station, or relax at the café.
