  • Travel along the Puffing Billy Railway from Menzies Creek to Lakeside in the Dandenong ranges in the East of Melbourne, Victoria, Australia on the 2ft 6inch gauge railway which was once the lifeline connecting this area to the rest of the state. Now a magical ride for tourists, it runs through the beautiful scenery that the ranges have to offer. Well worth the trip and easy to get to with the connecting Melbourne suburban railway at Belgrave.

    I live in beautiful Emerald.
    We have had a rule in our house for ages.
    If the car is stopped by Puffing Billy, you must wind the window down and wave to the passengers.
    The kids are older now, driving their own cars. They still do it. Everyone waves back. It's wonderful.

    It is interesting to see how many little things have changed over the years. I must be getting old also. A bit after emerald there were paddocks of potatoes and now it is a car park and sporting oval. But in the era before this part was reopened I was walking along there with my girl. That was where I stopped and proposed to her. We have been married for more than 50 years now.

    Brain Flash! I just remembered an old cop show from the 70's set in this area of Victoria (Emerald). It was called Solo One, and it starred Paul Cronin. Wow I am getting old.

    Suggestion for a future video - drivers eye view: regatta point to lower landing - west coast wilderness railway.
    I did something like this but from passenger view recently, would like to see what that would look like
