Travel through the magnificent Dandenong Ranges, with lush fern gullies brushing past and Mountain Ash trees towering overhead. Puffing Billy makes for a wonderful opportunity to relax and breathe in the fresh air whilst the train makes its way through the temperate rainforest.

Experience the time-honoured tradition of sitting on the carriage sill – a true thrill for young and old! Ride in open-sided carriages over the rolling hills, down the valley and into the forest on the original 24km mountain track between Belgrave and Gembrook and enjoy the simplicity and beauty of the region on board our Excursion train journey.

Lakeside Visitor Centre features indoor and outdoor event spaces, local food and wine, and inspiring group experiences.

Function spaces can be hired independently or combined with our steam train journeys, including private charter trains, exclusive carriages for groups, and onboard dining in enclosed heritage first-class carriages.

Sit back, relax, and bask in the company of loved ones with a ride onboard Australia’s oldest preserved steam railway.
