You know how your pooch loves to sit in the car watching the world whizz past? And if they can stick their head out the window they will. Well, imagine if they could have the same experience but on a train and you could be there holding them.

Well, it's happened. The ultimate dogs day out. Dogs can now go on the Puffing Billy Dog Express!

On the following dates:
Sunday 25th February
Sunday 3rd March
Sunday 21st April
Sunday 5th May
Sunday 2nd June

Passengers and their four-legged family members can travel on a special monthly Lakeside to Gembrook service while in the comfort of enclosed compartment carriages.

Accommodating one dog per booking, all furry travellers will enjoy a 40-minute journey through the unspoilt Wright State Forest, over three historic timber trestle bridges – including the tallest on the entire line at 60 metres long and 15 metres high – and past Cockatoo and Fielder station as the train climbs towards Gembrook.

Visitors can start the day at Emerald Lake Park, with plenty of walking tracks and trails for families and dogs to explore before boarding dog-friendly carriages at Lakeside Station.



Once arriving at Gembrook, passengers and dogs alike have ample time to play in the adjacent J.A.C Russell Park and wander through the Eastern Dandenong Ranges Trail, making it an afternoon not to be missed with your family, friends, and furry pals.

Journey: Lakeside – Gembrook, return.
Time: 12.15pm service departing from Lakeside
Cost: $15.00 per dog (maximum 1-2 per carriage booth) - but you or course have to buy a ticket as well.
