    Travel through the lush Dandenong Ranges, celebrated as Australia's natural treasure trove.

    Ride the iconic Puffing Billy Railway, one of Australia's oldest steam trains.

    If time permits, visit the Maru Koala and Animal Park (optional, at your own expense), an ideal place to learn about native Australian wildlife up close (at own expense, and depending on the time of the train on the day).

    Marvel at the magnificent sea views at The Nobbies Viewpoint.

    As the sun sets and darkness falls, witness the Penguin Parade. Watch as groups of little penguins emerge from the sea and waddle across the beach to their nests.
