Step into a world of history, nature, and wildlife on this Puffing Billy and Healesville Sanctuary tour. Begin with a scenic drive through the Dandenong Ranges, where towering eucalyptus trees, fern-filled gullies, and winding country roads set the stage for a memorable day.

Next, board the historic Puffing Billy Railway, one of the world’s most celebrated steam trains. Built in 1913 to transport timber and local passengers through the rugged Dandenong terrain, Puffing Billy is now a beloved symbol of Victoria’s heritage. Step into a vintage open-air carriage and enjoy the gentle chug of the engine as it winds over trestle bridges, past emerald valleys, and through charming villages. The sights, sounds, and fresh forest air create a journey that feels timeless.

After your train adventure, visit Healesville Sanctuary, a haven for Australia’s unique wildlife. Stroll the landscaped grounds and meet kangaroos, koalas, wombats, and platypus. Expert keepers share fascinating stories about each species, creating moments that are both intimate and unforgettable.
