Puffing Billy & Blue Dandenongs Melbourne
The beautiful garden state of Victoria has many unique natural attractions. Among the very best are the Blue Dandenongs – a series of rolling hills, 35km east of Melbourne. Resplendent with tall groves of Mountain Ash, temperate rainforest and fern gullies covering the mountain floor, the Dandenongs are a cool and restful place. The dense rainforest has two beautiful waterfalls and a number of summits with stunning panoramas, and is home to many native birds and animals. With a number of B&Bs, coffee shops and antique stores, it is no surprise that the Blue Dandenongs remains such a popular place to visit.
You will enjoy a traditional morning tea of lamingtons, crackers with vegemite and tea or coffee, before heading to the Puffing Billy – a century old steam train still running on its original track. One of Victoria's most popular attractions, Puffing Billy Railway has been awarded a Certificate of Excellence from tripadvisor (2014). This beautifully preserved steam train is a delight to ride, transporting you back to a gentler time. Hundreds of dedicated volunteers keep Puffing Billy going, allowing you to enjoy all the pleasures of the Dandenongs as the whistle blows and clouds of steam roll by. Your trip will finish at the charming old-world mountain village of Sassafras before returning to Melbourne.
