For the puffing billy wineries what is the distance that the train ride covers?
The first successful steam engine was Watt's pumping engine. The first sucessful steam locomotive 'The Puffing Billy' was called such because the puffing sound it made going uphill (under load) reminded people of a puffing billy goat.

The distance from Melbourne to Belgrave, where the Puffing Billy lives, is around 43 kilometres and it should take you around 50 minutes to drive there. I hope you're not expecting a "Puffing Billy Winery Tour" though, as that particular experience doesn't exist. You can catch either the luncheon train or the dinner train (bookings are essential), where you can purchase local wines on board, but the train journey couldn't be called a "winery tour" by any stretch of the imagination.
It runs to Belgrave in The Dandenongs. Isabella
