me naik puffing billy with my mom, and 3 nieces.. oklah, pengalaman baru sebab naik train yang masih guna engine steam, pulak tu body train tu masih guna kayu n takde tingkap.. lalu pulak atas jambatan2 kayu style lama tuh.. disebabkan train takde tingkap so sangat sejuks la pada ketika tu, selain sebab hujan renyai2 n then masuk hutan n naik gunung.. view was breathtaking sebab lalu countryside and hutan aussie pun cantik ngan wildflowers dia..

touristic tu tk ler sngt... kalo utk kanak2 dey will enjoylah.... adults like us pn enjoy gak, sbb rasanya kat negeri lain tkde pesen naik old steam train yg kaki terjuntai gaya puffing billy ni... d train trip pn tk lama sngt... frm satu station to another station, dlm 15mins gitu... sama mcm pengalaman mesmerize, train ni lalu atas jembatan kayu, masuk hutan n countryside, kira kita dlm sekitaran gunung called dandenong ranges... masa kita naik puffing billy, d weather was perfect... ada matahari tp sejuk... warmwear is advisable....

ni gmbr2 kat puffing billy... hope u njoy ye... ;)

keadaan yg kecoh dgn ramai pelancong n pengunjung....

keadaan dlm gerabak kitalah... gerabak ni khas utk kita punya tour aje iaitu dr APT...

captain ni mundar mandir... mcm santa claus kan ?

bila masa kretapi da nk bergerak, d staff akan bunyikan loceng yg di pegang tu... by dis time, smua pintu gerabak da di sendal...

yg ni staff yg tukang tiup whistle n raise d flag... bila da bunyi whistle n flag pun dah di kibarkn, maka bergeraklah puffing billy tu...

ramai org yg melambai2... yg tk naik, yg dlm kenderaan waktu berhenti utk beri laluan pd si billy ni, drg smua sporting lambai2 kat kita... mcmlah kita ni nk jln jauh, pdhal satu stesen je...

yg duduk sblh dpn gerabak kretapi, kaki terjuntai2 smua... so kalo nk naik ni, make sure pakai shoes, jgn selipar jepun tau... takut balik kaki ayam plak...

sblh blakang kretapi... bdk2 sukalah... new xperience n adventurous for dem...

camni lah kaki terjuntai... speed train ni bole tahan laju jgk tau...

kepala gerabak yg asapnya kusmangat... mcm bau firecrackers... i tink dey still using arang batu....

jln2 jgk... tank sendiri pn nk kene isi jgk kan ?

ok, d gor scenic drive to port campbell where d twelve apostles are located, stop over lunch kat apollo bay... its centralised i tink... sbb my 1st visit pn sama tmpt lunch break... ni ikut coachlah... kalo drive sendiri tk tau plak eh... actually wat u can do, u bole pack roti, biskut, buah2an, snacks ke wateverlah... sbb i dun tink kat apollo bay, ada halal restaurants unless u want to eat fish n chipslah... for me, i pack biskut, snacks & epal... balik city baru kita hav dinner kat es teler...

ok, dis is my suggestion je lah eh... depending on hw many days u nk pegi... actually ur free days, even 1 wk pn tk cukup masa nak xplore d city alone tau... mana u nk shopping... shopping kan will take time....

d best recommended plc u shud go is the GOR tour... dis will take d whole day... so be prepared for d long journey, tp i tell u, u won't regret sbb pemandangan along Bass Straits & Southern Ocean, mmg sungguh menakjubkn... and of cos, if u book tru tour agency, d coach will stop at several lookout pts for quick photo-taking... 1st short-break like 1/2 hr or so at a small town called anglesea village... pastu lunch break at apollo bay abt 1 hr or so.... den continue d drive to port campbell...

2nd best is to watch d penguin parade at phillip island... d phillip island tour usually will start at 1.00pm so u bole choose to combine another tour in d morning like puffing billy or farm activities.... yarra valley tkya pegilah, sbb its a vasts of vineyards where d coach will stop for lunch n wine tasting.... so, mcm kita2 ni tk logiklah kalo nk stop kat dis kind of place... nanti boring plak kene tunggu tourists lain habis lunch kan...

3rd full day tour u bole chooselah... if u suka keindahan semulajadi, u can choose to go to d grampians national park, or mornington peninsula (dey hav a strawberry picking farm), or if u want to see bandar koboi, bole gi sovereign hill, ballarat (ada activity gold-mining) or blue dandenong pn ok gaklah, mcm blue mountain kat sydney... kalo u suka keindahan semulajadilah... kalo da terbang jauh2 ke negara org mesti nk njoylah... tk bole pikir, ah tmpt ni boringlah... kalo tk pegi mana tau tmpt tu cantik ke ok ke tidak kan ? kalo rasa2 tk ok, lenkali tkya pegilah... kem salam je...
