Feel the excitement as you dangle your legs over the side of the open carriages while crossing the famous Monbulk Creek Trestle Bridge, suspended nearly 20 metres above fern-filled gullies below.
- Lakeside town – a picturesque little stop surrounded by forest and a lake, perfect for photos and a wander
- 1000 Steps Walk (Kokoda Track Memorial Walk) – a scenic rainforest walk and one of Melbourne’s most famous walks
- Lunch stop in Olinda – a cute mountain village with cosy cafés, bakeries and gift shops
