Only 1 hour east of Melbourne, is the beautiful Dandenong Ranges. Let us show you what the area has to offer, and explore nature at its best. If you want you can take a ride on the famous Puffing Billy train.
Start the day with a stunning rainforest walk, followed by Devonshire Tea with Wattle Seed Scones while you take in the splendours of our natural wonderland. The forest is home to a variety of birds life including parrot and the lyrebird, so make sure to look out for them
Puffing Billy is Australia’s premier preserved steam train. This century-old steam train continues to run on its original mountain track from Belgrave to Gembrook, winding you through the magnificent Dandenong Ranges.
Puffing Billy was built to serve at the turn of the century and is a genuine relic of our more leisurely days. The Railway is the major survivor of four experimental lines used to develop rural areas in the early 1900s. Step back in time as you enjoy this authentic experience, with lush fern gullies brushing past and Mountain Ash trees towering overhead, Puffing Billy makes for a wonderful opportunity to relax and breathe in the fresh air whilst the train makes its way through the temperate rainforest.
We pickup from most Melbourne city locations and a few places in St Kilda. Most of our pickups are early, the reason for this is to avoid the traffic and depart Melbourne nice and early.

8 months agoOur guide Walter was fun to travel with. They took us to multiple places on the Great Ocean Road. They give you sufficient time to explore each location and take the full experience. Overnight accommodation offered was neat/tidy and enjoyable for 1 night.

a month agoBooked a 4-day custom tour with Around and About and couldn't recommend enough! Walter was so accommodating, fun, and a joy to be around. We had a group of wildlife photographers and Walter was never fussed when we took a bit longer at a stop or if we decided to make changes to the intended route. He was very punctual, knew a lot about the surrounding areas of Melbourne and was always happy to help. His vehicle is spacious, comfortable and always very tidy. An absolutely incredible experience - 10/10!

a year agoI wanted to do a complete Great Ocean Road trip without skipping any attractions and I got nothing less. Walter, our guide, was extremely knowledgeable and helped us have a great time giving us plenty of time to enjoy and keep us on schedule. He was always courteous. We even made a few stops that wasn't on the official itinerary. The van was comfortable and drive was smooth. The YHA accomodation was decent for a night stay. Recommend to anyone who wants Great Ocean Road checked off the list without regrets.

2 years agoAbsolutely fantastic 2 days trip to the Great ocean road with Mr. Walter (Tour guide). He was very professional, knowledgeable, flexible and perfect with the timing & driving. Since its COVID times, we were just 4 people in the mini bus that can accommodate 11 passengers, so it did feel like a private tour. He took the time to share info, recommendations in each and every stop. Thanks again Mr. Walter and hope to see you again next time! Highly recommended!
