Melbourne Day 2: Puffing Billy

We start our journey to Belgrave for Puffing Billy - steam train.
Please refer to their website here to plan for your visit.
We opt for a ride from Belgrave to Lakeside which cost AUD$46.50 for return ticket.
Remember to collect your vouchers (in a travel guide book for tourist) at the airport or from the skybus kiosk. It gives discount of 10% to this ride!
I love the oh-so-english feel :)
Very antique feeling.
The ride was so fun, I didn't realize the bridge is made from wood!
Everyone was actually sitting on the window pane with legs hanging out of the window; despite there is bench in the train. Cause it feels more thrilling and enjoying this way. Just be careful that the dust from the charcoal burning will make you dirty.
Arriving lakeside station; 1 hour later.
We spent 1 hour at lakeside, eating pies, drinking coffee and enjoying the autumn view before hopping back to the train, heading back to Belgrave.
Unforgettable steam train ride :)
