The Puffing Billy is Australia's oldest steam railway. The architecture of the station follows the style of a small British rural station, passes through the primitive forest park, and shuttles through the verdant Dandenong Ranges, with lush fern gullies brushing past and Mountain Ash trees towering overhead, giving visitors a sense of tranquillity and beauty.
