The Puffing Billy Steam Train, located in Belgrave, Victoria, Australia, is a renowned vintage steam train route that winds through the dense forests of the Dandenong Ranges, offering a truly nostalgic experience. It's famous for its romantic, fairytale-like carriages – you can dangle your feet outside, feeling the shadows of trees, wildflowers, and fresh mountain breezes brush past you as you journey through pristine rainforest in an hour, creating a unique fairytale journey.

Recommended Itinerary: The Puffing Billy Steam Train departs from Belgrave Station (1 Old Monbulk Rd, Belgrave VIC 3160). Arriving early is recommended for photo opportunities. The journey takes you past spectacular bridges and steam-shrouded mountains. Don't miss the iconic iron bridge view – a right-side window seat is highly recommended for a better perspective and to capture the fairytale-like train and lush greenery. The train journey takes approximately one hour, stopping at various villages along the way, offering picturesque scenery. After the journey, you are free to explore forest trails or charming cafes in the final village.

Must-Visit Spots

1. Belgrave Railway Station: Take a photo with the vintage station and the steam locomotive to capture the moment of departure.

2. Monbulk Creek Trestle Bridge: This wooden viaduct is a popular best spot for photos along the route. From the right-hand carriage, you can capture the train's curve under the bridge and the surrounding greenery.

3. Forest Section: Hang your feet outside the carriage and capture heartwarming moments as the train passes through lush forests.

4. End-of-Terminal Village Trail: Stroll along the wooden bridge and tree-lined paths, experiencing the leisurely pace of the Australian countryside.

Travel Tips

- Tickets must be booked online in advance, and they sell out easily during peak season and weekends.

- The journey takes approximately 1-1.5 hours one way. Due to the slow train speed, it's suitable for families or groups of friends.

- Please bring a jacket in rainy or damp weather, as it can be chilly in the mountains.

- It's recommended to bring a fully charged camera/phone, as there are many beautiful sights to see along the way. - Littering is prohibited along the route. Please be careful and do not extend your body excessively out of the carriage.

Important Notes

- The train runs from 9:00 AM to 5:00 PM. It is recommended to depart in the morning to avoid peak hours and take better photos.

- Activities are only for ticket holders. Please purchase tickets in advance (approximately AUD 296). Upon arrival, scan the QR code or show your email confirmation.

- In case of rain, the train will still operate as usual, but some outdoor activities may be affected.

Conclusion
The Puffing Billy Steam Train is not just a dream journey for children; adults will also love this family-friendly route that winds through the forest, allowing for an up-close experience of the fusion of forest and steam. Whether you are a photography enthusiast or a family trip, you can create the most beautiful memories of the Australian mountains.
