Description:

Explore the low mountain Dandenong Ranges and climb aboard the Puffing Billy steam train as you relive the romance of the steam travel days. On this half-day trip, admire gorgeous forests and gullies in Victoria, feed local birds, and taste delicious, homemade Devonshire tea.

Hop on a luxury coach, escape the city, and find a lush haven of delights in the Dandenong Ranges, such as hidden fern gullies, towering forests, and sleepy villages. At Grants Reserve, take the opportunity to hand feed birds that are exclusive to this region, such as the pink-chested Galah and colorful Crimson Rosella, and have your camera handy to snap a few photos.

Later, head to Belgrave and ride the restored Puffing Billy steam train along the original narrow-gauge railway. During your 30-minute ride, marvel at the towering mountain ash trees and charming gullies of Sherbrooke Forest, see the ancient Trestle Bridge, and admire impressive views of Port Phillip Bay.

After a memorable ride, taste scrumptious, hot scones with jam and cream and take a sip of delightful, homemade Devonshire tea. On your way back to Melbourne, stop and wander through the quaint little town of Sassafras which is renowned for its charming antiques as well as arts and crafts stores.
