Highlights

Experience of a lifetime dangling your feet from an historic much loved steam train called Puffing BIlly. The real life Thomas the Tank Engine, taking you on a natural scenic journey through the lush green mountain side of a once volcanic region of Victoria. We enjoy a stroll through the gorgeous rainforest whilst observing for rare native wildlife. After a famous pie shop stop, and a wonder around some local boutique, hand made, tea pot and gift shops, we make our way for some wine tastings and chocolate creations in another famous location, the Yarra Valley; a wonderful winery region in Victoria, and one of the best, not to mention underrated, pristine areas of Southeastern Australia.

About Melbourne

Melbourne is the capital of Victoria on the Yarra River, known for laneway cafés, street art, grand Victorian buildings and a calendar full of sport.

Melbourne grew rich on the gold rush of the 1850s, and the grand buildings from that time still stand in the grid of the city centre, among them Flinders Street Station with its yellow facade and the domed Royal Exhibition Building. Federation Square and the National Gallery of Victoria stand close to the Yarra, and trams rattle along the main streets. Narrow lanes such as Hosier Lane are covered in ever-changing street art.

Top-ranked sights in Melbourne: Loch Ard Gorge, Twelve Apostles, Great Ocean Road.
