Bellarine Peninsula Railway, Queenscliff

A must for all rail enthusiasts, this blast from the past is a real journey back in time. Starting from the sedate little seaside town of Queenscliff, a restored steam train runs over 16 kilometers of track through scenic countryside overlooking Port Phillip Bay. The train was once a vital form of communication, but nowadays it is packed with holidaymakers enjoying the relaxed pace and sense of history. The train puffs over to Drysdale station, before making the return trip, 90 minutes in all to cover the Bellarine Peninsula Railway.
