Step back in time at Australia's oldest and best-preserved heritage steam railway, Puffing Billy, situated in the picturesque Dandenong Ranges and only 60-minutes from Melbourne CBD.With lush fern gullies brushing past the open side carriages and Mountain Ash trees towering overhead, Puffing Billy Railway makes for a wonderful opportunity to relax and breathe in the fresh air whilst the train makes its way through the temperate rainforest.Visitors can enjoy travelling on board Puffing Billy as a stand-alone experience with the excitement beginning at Belgrave Station, or start the adventure from Lakeside Station, riding over the rolling hills, across iconic timber trestle bridges and through the open farmlands that surround Gembrook Station. With a range of delicious picnic and lunch packs available, pre-order your meals and spend the rest of your time making memories to treasure forever.Or enjoy a different type of Puffing Billy Railway experience in beautifully restored heritage dining carriages as part of the railway's first-class Steam & Cuisine luncheons. The Nobelius Packing Shed – a heritage listed remnant of horticultural history that was once part of the largest exporter of fruit and ornamental trees in the Southern Hemisphere – is another romantic setting for an afternoon bite.Other special events include Day Out with Thomas, the Puffing Billy Running Festival, as well as our much-loved Murder Mystery dinners.Scheduled to be complete and open in Spring of 2021, visit the new state-of–the-art Lakeside Visitor Centre to learn more about the railway and the region. Free entry. Indoor and outdoor dining options available.Whether it's energetic adventure, a touch of nostalgia or cultural experiences, there is something for everyone at Puffing Billy Railway.
