More and more people are yearning for closer contact with nature, and somewhat retro, simplified travel projects are entering more people's vision.

01The Oldest Steam Train

Do you remember the steam train in ‘Harry Potter’? The tin steam train spewed white steam and rushed past the wizarding world! This is the first scene that opened the magical world for many of us!

Today, I recommend the Puffing Billy steam train in Australia, which is a similar experience!
It is one of the oldest steam trains in Australia and also one of the best-preserved steam railways in the world. Located 42 kilometers east of Melbourne. It is a popular tourist attraction in Victoria.

Dandenong / Dandenong

Crossing mountains

The train journey is 24 kilometers, passing through beautiful forests and fern creeks from Belgrave to Dandenong Mountain.
This century-old steam train slowly runs on the 13-kilometer narrow-gauge railway, passing through the beautiful Dandenong Mountains, forests, grasslands, and lakes, with lush greenery and shady trees.

‘Ting-ting-ting’, the train passes through tall wooden bridges, making people feel like they are in a movie, and passengers and cars on the side of the road wave enthusiastically at the people on the train.
Sunlight shines through the forest, casting mottled shadows, warm yellow combined with steam, like entering a fairy tale dream, and the whole world is not as beautiful as a clear day or a rainy day.

Recommended gameplay

The best way to experience the steam train is to put your feet out the window like a child. The touch of nature and the contact with the sun are extremely refreshing.

Listening to the long whistle of the steam train and seeing the rocking train conductor, smelling the slightly pungent steam. It feels like returning to the old times.

02The Most Relaxing Australian Farm Stay

Fall in love with Australia, starting with a unique farm stay experience.

If you have limited time, how to appreciate the natural and humanistic charm of Australia in a short time?

I've unearthed a treasure gameplay for you—a unique Australian farm stay experience.

The Australian farm stay has reached a good scale, bringing sharing Downunder Farmstays to nearly 600 partner farms across Australia, distributed in Australia’s five most popular states. The farms are all within about 1-1.5 hours’ drive from the city, no matter where your destination is, there is a suitable farm.

These quality farms have good hardware conditions, comparable to resort villas. While experiencing rural life, you can also enjoy a high-quality living environment. In a fulfilling few-day stay, you can live with real Australian families, participate in daily farm work and special seasonal farm activities, collect eggs, harvest vegetables, and feed cows and sheep... truly experience the most authentic Australian life.

For many people who grew up in cities or have a lot of work pressure, contacting nature can completely cure you!
The farm is much more interesting than imagined. You can clearly see the Milky Way, which is difficult to find in the city. At sunset and sunrise, you can often see wild kangaroos roaming in the farm. Some farms even have tennis courts, swimming pools, and table tennis tables, and a pond where you can catch lobsters or fish.
This is why it is considered a very relaxed way, especially for family or children’s travel, suggesting picking!
