The Blue Dandenongs & Puffing Billy

We'll guide you through the tall mountain ash eucalypt forests of the Blue Dandenongs, roads lined with tree ferns, beautiful traditional gardens and small villages noted for their art and craft shops. Puffing Billy Steam Train - an original steam locomotive and one of Victoria's most unique attractions. You will delight to the sounds of the whistle and steam as you ride Puffing Billy through the forest.

Churchill Island

Join in on the activities of the island heritage farm. You'll have the opportunity to participate in milking a cow, petting baby animals, feeding 'Tiger' the goat, learn about sheep shearing and much more. You'll be given a guided tour of the original cottage, homestead and heritage gardens. You can enjoy a hearty country lunch or a light farmhouse lunch (own expense).

The Penguin Parade

The phenomenon of the Penguin Parade takes place each evening on floodlit Summerland Beach. The Little Penguins waddle across the beach to their burrows in the sand dunes while you watch from tiered stands and elevated boardwalks. Walk through the Visitor Centre's "Penguin World" and learn of the life of the Little Penguin. (Please bring warm clothing as nights can be cold on the island in any season).
