We’re giving three lucky families the chance to step back in time at Australia’s oldest and best-preserved heritage steam railway, situated in the picturesque Dandenong Ranges and only one hour from Melbourne CBD.

With lush fern gullies brushing past the open side carriages and Mountain Ash trees towering overhead, Puffing Billy Railway makes for a wonderful opportunity to relax and breathe in the fresh air whilst the train makes its way through the temperate rainforest.

At Lakeside, nestled amongst the towering rainforests, cool fern gullies, and native flowers of the Emerald Lake Park precinct sits the new, state-of-the-art Lakeside Visitor Centre. Offering guests a cultural hub with world class facilities, the new centre features a modern café, function spaces, a gift shop and a gallery of steam artifacts to explore. The Railway Café offers all-day breakfast, freshly baked scones, sit-down lunch, and locally roasted coffee.

Up for grabs are three Family Passes on Puffing Billy Railway, travelling return from Belgrave to Lakeside, valued at $153.50. Winners must be located in Victoria to claim the prize.

  • It’s been soooooooo long! A trip to the bush, the smell of the trees and the thrill of the ride make a fantastic day out

  • Because I grew up in the beautiful Dandenong Ranges and I’d love to return and have a ride on Puffing Billy! What an amazing way to show my husband where I grew up.


  • I went on it when I was my kids age now. It would be a blessing to receive this as things have been a bit tight with Covid in the last 2 years and we haven’t gotten out too much. The kids childhoods seem to have been taken from them


  • To be able to spend some time with my family and do something together would be the best thing. We don’t do much at all as a family so to have this would really make my year and not only me would love it but my kids would have a blast


  • Great family activity


  • it looks nice and peaceful


  • This is on my bucket list of experiences to try and although I am in NSW, I’d gladly travel there just to experience this adventure.


  • For 2 years, life has been unpredictable and ‘on the rails’. To start 2022 with a PUFFING BILLY experience, family fun is back ‘on track’!


  • Not unlike the Puffing Billy, life with COVID has been like huffing and puffing up and down hills and dales and this would offer pleasant respite and escape from the last 2 years.


  • when my kiddies were 2 and 3 they went on puffing billy and loved it to the moon and back, now there teenagers would love more than anything to relive those memories


  • Good luck to those who enter


  • Its been a long time since weve done this and would be great to experience with our daughter


  • Away with the fairies up In the Hills,
    The beauty of this adventure never stills,
    Stunning, fun and great for the adults and kids..


  • I grew up with Billy, my mum grew up with him, my kids have never been. Bring four generations on a trip would be great family fun and magical memories


  • My son is obsessed with trains and would absolutely love this! We have been cooped up all holidays as my partner and I both work this would be a great treat for my little boy


  • We took our kids on the train ride at Walhalla and they have been hooked with trains ever since, they keep asking when we will take them on another train ride and we always say in earnest hopefully soon.


  • This is a great experience for kids. Did it when my adult daughters were kids and would love to take my young son now. You can relax, take in the scenery and really appreciate the history.
