普芬森林蒸气小火车

我和两位老人一起来的,非常享受在这里的时光。我想像一下要是向孩子们展示蒸汽机也挺不错的。能来到市郊也很不错,不过价格比较贵!

我对家乡维多利亚(Victoria)的Puffing Billy很自豪,这是澳洲最棒的景点。Puffing Billy是一段历史上的窄轨铁路。这条铁路穿过风景漂亮的澳洲东南部丹顿农山脉(Dandenong Ranges)。不管是蒸汽火车还是柴油机车,都走过这条线。这条线,见证了窄轨铁路最辉煌的那段时光。在这里,能看到蒸汽火车和柴油火车的历史,真的很棒!我到过Puffing Billy很多次,希望每个来维多利亚(Victoria)或者住在本地的人,都能来看看。会觉得非常放松的,能看到森林和郁郁葱葱的山脉。当然,还能看到旧的蒸汽火车。湖边很漂亮,记得和家人在这里野餐。既有乡村风光又有漂亮的湖,好喜欢!总之,如果没来过,那我向你推荐Puffing Billy。你从不会失望!

我最近第一次去澳大利亚旅游,因为我在位于威尔士的威尔士高原铁路就是积极的志愿者,所以比利铁路是我的目标之一。我没有失望,这两条路线有很多相同点。尽管这一天有些糟糕(因为列车员的告知,我以为Dandendongs的气候与威尔士一样……),我可以看到很多评论都很不错。让我印象深刻的是比利铁路上友好的员工——位了让你玩的高兴,他们什么都不感到麻烦。我觉得F&WHR在这方面应该向我们的澳洲同行学习!与他们的列车员交流我的行程很棒——我们有很多不同点,他们做了一些特殊的事情/给我看了一些额外的东西。我想如果他们来参观威尔士铁路的话,我一定好好报答他们。不管你是铁路爱好者,还是从没见过蒸汽火车的小孩子,只要你来了这儿,就会爱上它。

坐下来,放松,享受旅程。这里有时很忙,大多数的客人坐长途车游览,从Belgrave到Menzies溪。火车更安静和让人放松。司机很棒,允许孩子爬上司机的隔间进行拍照。我的女儿甚至得以按响火车的笛声。

那是个大晴天,从墨尔本坐一个小时的火车到BELGRAVE来体验这古老的小火车,感觉非常棒.小火车是通过烧煤来产生动力的,所以火车开动时可以看到火车头上那阵阵青烟.火车上有很多车厢是允许乘客坐在窗户上把手脚伸出窗外的.因为车速很慢,所以不用担心会发生什么问题.反而能让乘客体验到身体拂过树叶的快乐感觉.整个火车和各个车站的运营和维护都是有志愿者完成的,这些志愿者大多是老者,但是你能从他们的脸上和动作中感受到开心,幸福的感觉.

My partner and I and friends decided on a night out on the P.B. Jazz Train and a great night was had by all. Leaving Belgrave at 7pm we were treated to a 1 hr journey thru the magnificent Dandenongs at dusk enjoying entrees, soup and drinks. Arriving at the Nobelius Packing Shed we spent the next 2.5 hrs enjoying main course and desert, listening to a trad jazz band with opportunities to dance. Coffee/tea, chockies and port were on the train back, arriving at Belgrave at 11.30pm. The food, often a negative point of some "nights out" was fantastic, prepared to perfection and a highlight. Full marks to all staff concerned - friendly and happy to help. Highly recommended for special occasions or functions. Looking forward to doing similar trips on P.Billy

The day was somewhat rainy and after driving to Puffing Billy and getting to the ticket entrance, the attendant asked, "one hour or two hours?" Assuming a choice the response was two hours only to be told that the one hour was the only thing available. Okay, then why ask? That should have been the indicator for the start and remainder of the experience. Boarding the train and selecting to sit on the rails was the choice of many. The journey started and the scenic travel was underwhelming. the first stop was uneventful, the second stop less eventful and the final stop was painful. It was raining, the cafe and some barely palatable food to eat and all in all for the price of the adventure it was not worth it. Kids would enjoy it but would get bored quickly, adults....oh well....the thrill is short lived.

Chugging along the tracks from Belgrave to Lakeside aboard the restaurant car with outstanding views. Our amazing journey started with exceptional customer service from our Head conductor for the day Bernadette. Great tips and what to expect whilst sipping a glass of wine enjoying the Natter platter taking in the surroundings that can't be seen from the road. Photo opportunities highlighted by Bernadette enhanced the journey whilst enjoying the participation from road travellers waiting and waving to us for our train to pass the crossing. Coming into the different Stations along the way greeted by young children with smiles and hands waving. Thanks to Bernadette's passion and commitment to her role our experience was very rewarding. I had my parents with me on this occasion who at times need assistance due to age were welcomed with a Fantastic customer experience and we would easily do this again. I do strongly suggest consider this for a gift idea with a difference. Lovely to meet you Bernadette and we thankyou for the pride and passion you share with everyone who travels on Buffing Billy regards Carina

A nice little train ride to a nice picnic spot. Nothing exciting, but it might be nice to ride with young children. Bring some snacks and food. BBQ facilities at the last stop.

Best part of the train ride is that you can hang out the carriage! There are over 900 volunteers running the trains which makes for a very happy journey. While it is definitely on the expensive side the scenery is beautiful and the steam engines magical. Tip. To reduce cost try and get someone to pick you up at lakeside.

If you love steam trains then this is the place to go. You can take the train to Lakeside a half day trip or for the full day then you can go up to Gembrook. Money saving tip, not get ripped off by the tour bus companies, you can take the train to Belgrave from Flinders Street. Then it's a short walk to Puffing Billy .

I did this as a shore tour from a cruise,cos I wasnt interested in any of the others at all,being Aussie...and surprisingly it was good.The train was cute and did go through lovely bush/rainforest.I could've done without the obligatory tea and scone stop,but,I did enjoy the birds there. Warning..wear long sleeves,or pref,chain mail,if youre going to feed the cockys,as there will be blood!I have always wanted to visit the Dandenongs and this is the only way on a cruise as public transport there is just too hard.It gave me the intro that I needed,so now I am defs going to go back.
