Just outside of Melbourne's Eastern Suburbs is the Dandenongs Ranges National Park - home of the lyrebird, superb traditional gardens and towering mountain ash forests. At the heart of the Dandenongs we visit Sherbrooke Forest home to tall eucalypts, kookaburras and bellbirds. At Grants Picnic Ground enjoy an Aussie style Bush Billy tea with lamingtons, vegemite and crackers - old fashioned hospitality in delightful surrounds…what a treat! there may even be time for a short bushwalk before joining Australia's most popular narrow gauge steam train.
Ride on an origonal steam locomotive, through the forest from Belgrave on the Puffing Billy steam train, pass through quaint villages noted for their restaurants, craft shops and beautiful gardens. Spend about 30 minutes at Sassafras known for its local craft and antiques.
