Puffing Billy – Belgrave to Lakeside is an iconic family adventure that brings back childhood memories for many. The smell of the engines, the sounds of clunking machinery, and the sight of volunteers in traditional uniforms all add to the charm, making you feel like part of a Thomas the Tank Engine story. The return trip from Belgrave to Lakeside takes you across the historic Monbulk Creek trestle bridge, past friendly locals waving from their backyards, and offers stunning views of the Cardinia Reservoir. For the best views, sit on the platform side at Belgrave. A longer day trip to Emerald is also a great option, making it a perfect family outing with time to relax by the lake and enjoy a picnic. TOOOOOT!
