Our visit was for family reasons.
However, we did visit Diamond Valley Railway - highly recommended. And while visiting Healesville, took a ride on the Yarra Valley Railway. Stockman's pie at the bakery highly recommended. Visited Puffing Billy at Lakeside. Completely changed, sterilised and overdeveloped for inbound tourists. Yuk‼️
