What to expect

  1. Puffing Billy Railway
    40m · Admission ticket included
    The Puffing Billy is Australia's oldest steam railway. The architecture of the station follows the style of a small British rural station, passes through the primitive forest park, and shuttles through the verdant Dandenong Ranges, with lush fern gullies brushing past and Mountain Ash trees towering overhead, giving visitors a sense of tranquillity and beauty.
  2. Cherryhill Orchards
    2h · Admission ticket included
    Established over 80 years ago, the orchard is still 100% Australian-owned, where you can immerse yourself in a fragrant cherry world.. The owner has been dedicating to cultivating Australia’s finest cherries with diligence and passion.
    Don’t hesitate to enjoy the taste of the fresh and juicy cherries while you pick them straight from the tree. In addition, you will have the chance to taste the cherry beverage and ice cream (own expense), take in the stunning views of the surrounding rolling hills and enjoy a live acoustic musician. How fantastic it is to hang out with family or friends in such a scenic place.
  3. Yarra Valley Chocolaterie & Ice Creamery
    1h
    Enjoy abundant free chocolate tastings. Watch the European Chocolatiers handcraft over 400 different chocolate products. Relax in the all-day Café serving breakfast and lunch and specialising in decadent sweet treats. When tastings are done, let the children run and play in expansive lawns, gardens, orchards and wetlands.
