Just an hour’s drive from Melbourne is the verdant landscape of the magnificent Dandenong Ranges, part of the Great Dividing mountain range which runs the entire length of the east coast of Australia. The Dandenongs are home to ‘Puffing Billy’. Operating since 1900, this fully restored steam engine is Australia’s oldest surviving and most famous steam train. With lush fern gullies brushing past, and Mountain Ash towering overhead, Puffing Billy makes for a wonderful opportunity to relax and breathe in the fresh mountain air whilst the train makes its way through the temperate rainforest. Re-live the romance and charm of the bygone days of steam as you travel back in time on this historic, narrow-gauge railway on its original mountain track.

Best tour to date. The thing with private tours is that the guide makes or breaks the experience.
Simon made this the best tour like this that we’ve done to date in 3 different countries. He took pictures, gave us ideas on other things to do, and showed us the sights. Engaged with my teenaged sons on their levels and kept them interested.
Puffing Billy was fun, but Simon was so much more than transportation to and from the train.
Book with these guys and I hope you get Simon! Caramel and Aluminum!
