Puffing Billy & The Dandenong Ranges

Puffing Billy and The Dandenong Ranges

One hour east of Melbourne awaits the spectacular and majestic Dandenong Ranges. The ranges have something for everyone, from the rolling hills, lush fern glades and towering trees, to quaint village townships filled local providores that will tickle your taste buds with their delights.

The Dandenong Ranges are also famously home to the iconic stream train “Puffing Billy”.

Young or old, a ride on Puffing Billy is a highlight that many guests to revel in. You’ll enjoy the gentle sway of the classic carriages as Puffing Billy chugs its way through lush gullies and winding scenery from Belgrave to Emerald.

But the ranges have far more than its iconic steam train to offer. As far as activities and attractions go, you’ll be spoilt for choice. From the stunning Sky High Observation Platform at top of the ranges, to the equally beautiful botanic gardens, there’s a new vista around every corner. 

Looking for some ‘retail therapy’? Olinda and Sassafras are home to an array of amazing boutique shops, boasting a wide variety of gifts, knick-knacks, toys, clothing, candles, and much more. 

Once you’ve taken in the sights and had some time out, let’s treat yourself to some of the sumptuous local food and produce.

Immerse yourself in everything the Dandenong Ranges has to offer while you relax in one of our fleet of Mercedes Benz vehicles as we create your ultimate experience. Throughout the day, your Chauffeur Guide will share the history, adventures, tales & stories of the ranges as you spend a full day creating, exploring, and experiencing your own private tour.
