Guidebook for Sassafras
Entertainment & Activities
Puffing Billy is Australia’s favourite steam train. This century old steam train is still running on its original 25 kilometre mountain track from Belgrave to Gembrook, through the beautiful forests and fern gullies of the Dandenong Ranges.
The open-sided carriages are the best way to see the stunning views and you can even dangle your legs over the side of the carriages – if you dare!
