What interesting places can a person go in Melbourne?

The homestay in the morning is so quiet and beautiful ~ There are fruits, coffee, tea, eggs and bread in the room, so you can have your own diy breakfast ~

Because the time was not very urgent, and we were tired from driving a few days ago, we basically checked out after 1 1. This homestay has only one rented room, and the rest of the houses are occupied by the owners themselves. There is also a beautiful big garden and a beautiful sun room. I met an Australian who works here. She said that she had been in Australia for a month and had been working in different places. She can eat and drink with her host and experience the local life. She just needs to help them with a little work. I feel that this kind of travel is really good ~

She has lived in this homestay for many days. If someone lives, she will clean the room in the rest of the time and enjoy the holiday ~

Cop Dandenong Ranges is a wine producing area in Victoria, with the highest forest and only one hour's drive from Melbourne. The verdant Denton Mountains. This is a green kingdom, where the hillside is covered with sorbus, the mountain clearing is covered with fern leaves, the ancient gardens become chaotic, and there are some secret resorts. There are many wild animals hidden in the shade, and there is a Dandenong Mountain National Park, which is a good place to enjoy the scenery and hike. Lakes, towns, villages, gardens and orchards dot the mountains. People who are too lazy to walk can also drive around ancient towns, or visit various farms and buy fresh and cheap agricultural products. Here spring is full of spring flowers, summer is full of shade, autumn is full of maple leaves, and red, yellow and green converge into the most beautiful picture; It is also excellent to relax in the warm sunshine in winter, and it is a good place to enjoy the scenery and hike.

After B&B, we drove all the way to Tiangao observation deck ~

This is the commanding height of Denton. Looking down from the observation deck with a wide view, you can see the trees nearby and Melbourne and Port Phillip in the distance. You can walk around the observation deck, and you may find the giant Igor seats you like to watch here. Interesting locals always try to convince tourists that giants, dwarves and elves live in their forests. The viewing terrace outside the Sky High restaurant can enjoy the scenery while eating ~ If you don't want to eat, eating ice cream or drinking coffee is also excellent ~

I heard that the sunset here is beautiful ~ but the scenery during the day is not inferior at all ~

I bought ice cream in the coffee shop inside. I think Spongebob must be teasing me. . . .

After getting out of skyhigh, we drove all the way down the mountain to puffing Railway Station, passing through some towns ~ But because of the busy working hours before departure, many strategies were not done too carefully, so we drove all the way blindfolded ~

The small town in the mountains has unique shops, antique shops, handmade toy shops, crystal shops and natural soaps, and there are works of art everywhere. You'll think you've come to an ancient European town ~ There are two small towns in the mountains, one is olinda and the other is Sassafras, which I saw when I checked later ~ You can go shopping when you have time ~

The most authentic way to experience the Denton Mountains around Melbourne is to hang on the oldest steam train in Australia, "Pufenbili", pass through the mountains, grasslands, houses and lakes with slightly pungent steam, wave and smile with everyone passing by, look for birds in the forest, and return to the old times in an instant with the long whistle and sparkling steam to experience the fairytale beauty.

This is what I want to experience most before I come to Melbourne. How many trains can put their feet outside the carriage ~ haha ~ what a special feeling ~

Official website:. au/

This is the latest official website of the small train. The homepage is in Chinese. You can check the daily timetable and book train tickets.

Opening hours: 9:00- 17:00 (Monday to Sunday, Christmas is closed). Due to different seasons, the train timetable will be updated frequently. The specific departure time of each train needs to be inquired in official website.

Admission fee:

(1) Round trip from Belgrave to Emerald/Lakeside: AUD 5 1.5 for adults; Children (4- 16 years old, free under 4 years old) 26.5 Australian dollars; Students, the elderly and the disabled 4 1 AUD; Family package (up to two adults+four children aged 4- 16) 104 Australian dollars.

(2) Round trip from Belgrave to Kimbrook: 68 Australian dollars for adults; Children (4- 16 years old, free under 4 years old) 34 Australian dollars; 53.5 Australian dollars for students, the elderly and the disabled; Family package (up to two adults+four children aged 4- 16) 137 Australian dollars.

Mode of transportation:

(1) Self-driving recommendation (there is a parking lot next to the railway station, but it was full on the day of going, so parking is free).

(2) Train: Take BelgraveLine train from downtown Melbourne, get off at the terminal and walk along the sign for 5 minutes, then you can easily find the platform of Pufenbili Steam Train.

Riding strategy:

(1) Pufenbili has different trains and times every day. Generally speaking, there are four trains every day, namely 10:30,1:10, 12:30, 14:30.

(2) Ordinary tourists will get off at Lakeside Station for a period of time and return from here. Return trains usually leave at 12:30, 14:25, 15:40 and 16:30.

(3) If the fire is banned, the steam train burning coal will be replaced by diesel locomotives, and the departure time will also change. Please pay attention to official website the day before.

(4) I bought a ticket online in advance ~ You can search it, it is sold in many places, and you can change tickets there, so don't worry about a lot of people queuing in the peak season.

(5) The best position is on the right side of the train tail. You can film the whole train when you turn. After driving for about 5 minutes, you will turn over a wooden trestle more than ten meters high, which is beautiful and exciting. But now the rear of the car is basically covered by tour groups, and sitting at the front of the car is also a good choice. I read the guide before that the front of the car will stink, but I think it's okay.

I bought a round-trip ticket from Belgrave to the lake, the flight at 2: 30, and I will come back after 5: 00 ~

The car is moving slowly at a speed of 15 miles per hour. There are two railings on both sides of the car. Adults and children can sit on the bar, put their feet out of the window and experience the unique pleasure of traveling by an external train. With the roar and breeze of the train, there is a nostalgic taste. And it's really nice to take a small train when the temperature is just right in Australia in summer ~

The operation of ancient puffin steam train began in the early 20th century, and it was first used to transport wood in mountain forests. 1953 The railway was suspended for 9 years due to landslide. 1975 was officially changed into a tourist train, and now it has become a tourist project ~ The train has witnessed the historical changes of Melbourne for a hundred years. The train with a speed of only 20 kilometers per hour takes you back to the not-too-old past. The open wooden carriage allows you to contact nature infinitely and breathe the pure air in the mountains infinitely.

In the lush forest, the sun shines on your eyes through the cracks in the leaves. The sky is deep and shallow blue, and the sounds of bell birds and steam locomotives echo in the valley, simple and beautiful. I don't know what will happen tonight.

I will stop at the terminal for a while ~ this is a good time to take pictures ~ ~ Hanging my legs outside the car feels like a scene that should be in a fairy tale.

This is a big sharp bend not far from the lakeside station on the return trip. At this time, the left side of the train direction is the best shooting position. I sat on the other side when I went, but I didn't expect to see such a beautiful scenery on the left! ~ so if you go back and forth, you can sit on both sides and watch different scenery ~

Stay at the Melbourne Airport PLUS Taylor Lake Hotel

Taylor Lake Hotel is 3 minutes' walk from Hubin Village Shopping Center, 20 minutes' drive from Melbourne Airport, 24 minutes' drive from downtown Melbourne and 50 minutes' drive from Macedonian mountain hot springs and wine producing areas.

A small and refined hotel, exquisitely decorated, has no sanitation, and the bar and guest room next to it are completely separated, which will not cause any impact.

The hotel is in a community center and there is a swimming school next to it. Although it is not the hotel swimming pool, we can also use it after class. The hotel is much like an express hotel, but it is fully equipped.
