Puffing Billy is a century-old steam train in the Dandenong Ranges, and these tours pair the ride with the forest around it. The line has run through the same fern gullies since 1900. Morning departures leave time for the hills villages afterward, which is where the scones live.
Discover the natural wonders of Melbourne with a thrilling ride on Puffing Billy and an up-close encounter with wildlife at Healesville Sanctuary. Unforgettable adventures await!
