“This is a great opportunity for the railway to give back to the local community, particularly after a very challenging year, and is sure to keep the kids entertained at weekends and during school holidays at low expense,” said Peter Abbott, Puffing Billy Railway CEO.
“Puffing Billy Railway is an iconic part of the Dandenong Ranges community, so we want the community to be part of Puffing Billy Railway.”
Discover the beauty of the Dandenong Ranges’ cool-climate forest, marvel at the elusive sounds of wildlife and enjoy a whole year of entertainment at Australia’s premier heritage steam railway.
