Puffing Billy with Wildlife (English)

Code: 99V

Located just a short drive to the east of Melbourne, the beautiful Blue Dandenong Ranges are home to colourful native birds, fern gullies and tall mountain ash eucalypts. 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 the steam as you ride Puffing Billy through the forest.

Healesville Sanctuary is your next stop after your ride on the Puffing Billy steam strain. With the largest collection of Australian wildlife, you can walk through the bushland settings, talk to the keepers and observe native animals in their natural habitats. It’s an ideal place for unique encounters… kangaroos, koalas, wombats, parrots, emus and the “Birds of Prey” demonstration. For our wine lovers, visit Rochford Wines for further tastings and then on to Dominique Portet, a boutique family owned winery. We’ll join a vineyard, bottling or vintage tour followed by wine tasting complimented with cheese and crackers.

If you would not like to go for Wildlife, you have the choice to take the Wineries tour (55V) to complete your day.
