A Good Friday on Puffing Billy

Good Friday arrived and we had everyone together we were in search of something to keep the whole family busy for the day. We decided to pack a picnic and head into the Dandenong Ranges where Puffing Billy, a century-old steam train that through the help of volunteers and donations still runs on its original track on the mountain from Belgrave to Gembrook.

One of the best and most fun things about this train is that you get to sit on the railing with your feet hanging off the side.

There was lots to look at along the way, and people stop all along the track to wave at the train as it passes by.

We stopped for a picnic in Lakeside before heading back to Belgrave. It was a great adventure for the whole family.
