Itinerary

1. Puffing Billy Railway
Puffing Billy is a genuine relic of the early 20th century. It was originally one of four narrow-gauge lines that opened in 1900 to serve the remote farms and communities of the Dandenong Ranges. After a landslide closed the line in 1953, a group of passionate volunteers fought to restore it. Thanks to their dedication, Puffing Billy was reborn as a preserved heritage railway, offering visitors a unique and authentic steam train experience.
Duration: 120 mins
2. Maru Koala and Animal Park
Maru Koala and Animal Park is a family-friendly wildlife sanctuary where visitors can get up close with Australia’s iconic native animals, including koalas, kangaroos, wallabies, and more. Unlike larger zoos, Maru offers an intimate, hands-on experience, making it perfect for kids and animal lovers.(Subject to the schedule of the train, not guaranteed to go)
