Puffing Billy Railway Tickets | Belgrave to Lakeside Steam Train Experience
Step back in time and journey through the lush rainforests of Victoria on the world-famous Puffing Billy Steam Railway! Operating on its original mountain track through the heart of the scenic Dandenong Ranges, this iconic heritage steam train offers one of Australia’s most beloved vintage rail adventures—just an hour’s drive east of Melbourne.
Departing from historic Belgrave station, your trip to Lakeside Station takes you through majestic mountain ash trees, rolling hills, and deep, green fern gullies. Feel the nostalgia as the steam whistle blows and you travel inside open-side carriages, soaking in unobstructed views of the rainforest. A major highlight of the trip includes crossing over four towering, historic timber trestle bridges—including the famous Monbulk Creek Trestle Bridge.
Upon arriving at Lakeside, located on the shores of Emerald Lake Park, you'll have time to explore pedal boats, wander peaceful walking tracks, enjoy a picnic, or visit the Lakeside Visitor Centre for lunch and heritage displays. Perfect for families, history buffs, and nature lovers, Puffing Billy is a timeless Australian icon that delights travelers of all ages year-round.
