A fantastical world of giant trees, harmonious lyrebirds, and the chug of a steam train…
Head out of Melbourne and within the hour you'll find yourself immersed in the Dandenong Ranges. An excellent escape from the buzz of the city, the ranges are best discovered as you hike through the surrounding rainforest on the 1000 Steps. Or for anyone more inclined to put their feet up instead, then let them dangle off the side of the Puffing Billy Railway.
And after all that hiking/dangling, head to SkyHigh for a view that's nearly as good as the meat pie :-)
Jack's take
Flying to the other side of the world is made a lot easier when it's with a 5-star airline. And having not one, but two checked bags included is a lovely bonus as well! But there's only a handful of trips, so you'll need to be quick booking...
