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.

 

Visit Mountain Forest Townships and Beautiful Gardens.
There are several quaint townships nestled amongst the magical tree ferns such as Sassafras and Olinda, where you can spend time browsing through the many wonderful art and craft shops. Or perhaps journey to the summit of Mt Dandenong for stunning views over the entire metropolitan Melbourne. There’s also the option of visiting beautiful gardens dotted throughout the ranges, like the outdoor sculpture garden William Ricketts Sanctuary.

 

A visit to the Dandenong Ranges is an ideal half-day tour from Melbourne where you can experience beautiful nature and historic Puffing Billy, perfect for the whole family.
