Your journey starts at Belgrave station, the headquarters of the Railway. The station is only a short walk from Belgrave Township which has an abundance of shopping and dining options.
Setting out from Belgrave, Puffing Billy passes the southern reaches of the beautiful Sherbrooke Forest, a superb example of rainforest noted for its native 'Mountain Ash' trees, a form of eucalypt and the tallest flowering plant in the world.
Within minutes you will travel over Puffing Billy's most famous landmark - the iconic Trestle Bridge. Make sure you have your camera ready!
Experience the time-honoured tradition of sitting on the carriage sill – a true thrill for young and old!Â
After a leisurely 25-minute journey you will arrive at Menzies Creek station, where you can explore Puffing Billy's rich history at the Menzies Creek Museum.
The museum covers a space of 1160 square metres and houses over 80 exhibits, including rare operational steam and diesel locomotives, carriages and more!
Adding to the atmosphere, the museum also contains the Little Toot Café with light refreshments on offer.
Afterwards, your journey back to Belgrave finishes off a day full of shared memories.
