One of the main reasons we decided to take a short holiday in the Dandenong Ranges in Victoria was so that we could take the boys for a ride on the Puffing Billy steamtrain. We boarded the train at Belgrave and alighted at Emerald. Despite the fact that it was a dull grey day we all thoroughly enjoyed the train ride.
Every so often the boys called out 'all aboard' as we made our way through the lush green mountains.
I'm guessing that the staff of the Puffing Billy are retired train folk as many of them looked to be quite an age. They all looked the part and gave the ride an air of days gone by.
The view from the train was exceptional - forests of green tree ferns.
