Itinerary:
Valid for 01APR23-31MAR25:
For the perfect family day out, combine two of Victoria’s most renowned attractions - Healesville Sanctuary and Puffing Billy. Loved by children and adults alike for over 100 years, Puffing Billy is one of the finest preserved steam railways in the world. Begin your day in the most scenic fashion as your local guide whisks you an hour away from Melbourne and seemingly back in time as you ride the historic steam train through the fern-covered gullies of the magnificent Dandenong Ranges National Park. Enjoy the views from the iconic open-sided carriages as Puffing Billy traverses undulating farmland, across iconic timber trestle bridges, down the valley and into the forest on the original mountain track between Belgrave and Lakeside. The journey then continues onto the picturesque vine-covered hills of nearby Yarra Valley, Australia’s leading cool-climate wine region where lunch will be served at the family friendly ‘Quarters’ restaurant at Hubert Estate. Parents may also opt for a tasting of local wines while at lunch. Prior to returning to Melbourne, visit the acclaimed Healesville Sanctuary. Wander tranquil bushland tracks and see iconic Australian animals including koalas, kangaroos, platypus, dingoes, wombats, emus and more.
