Overview
Rainforest, steam trains and timeless memories.
Escape Melbourne on an unforgettable adventure with the Puffing Billy & Rainforest Tour. Begin at Grants Picnic Ground, where native birdlife and serene rainforest trails await. Then, board the iconic Puffing Billy Railway at Belgrave Station and feel the thrill as you dangle your legs over open carriages during a magical one-hour journey through lush forests.
At Lakeside Station, explore the Lakeside Visitor Centre, discover steam train history, and enjoy lunch (own expense) surrounded by picturesque views. Perfect for nature and history lovers, this tour promises timeless memories for all ages.
Stop one is Grants Picnic Reserve in Sherbrooke Forest: wander amid majestic Mountain Ash and lush fern gullies, and encounter vivid rosellas, galahs, cockatoos and perhaps a lyrebird. The Puffing Billy journey is one hour through lush rainforest, embracing the time-honoured tradition of dangling your legs out of the train. Please note at times the train may operate in the reverse direction.
