Top Tips

Location

Begin your day with a convenient pickup from Melbourne before travelling to the Dandenong Ranges for a journey on the iconic Puffing Billy steam train. Enjoy the scenic ride from Belgrave to Menzies Creek as the train winds through lush rainforest and fern-filled gullies. When open, you’ll also have time to explore the Menzies Creek Museum, showcasing historic locomotives, rail memorabilia, and interactive displays that bring Puffing Billy’s heritage to life.

Continue to the riverside village of Warburton, where you’ll have free time to enjoy lunch at one of the local cafés or bakeries.

After lunch, wander through the enchanting Cement Creek Redwood Forest, surrounded by towering Californian Redwoods and peaceful walking trails that offer fantastic photo opportunities.

Round off your adventure with a relaxing stop at Killara Estate in the Upper Yarra Valley. Choose between a guided tasting of cool-climate wines overlooking rolling vineyards or a freshly baked Italian cannoli for an afternoon treat.
