Up Menzies Creek without a paddle
I am looking to settle in the Menzies Creek/Emerald area. Does anyone know what the Puffing Billy railway line is like and is it feasible for commuting to the Melbourne CBD?
Cheers

Re: Up Menzies Creek without a paddle
The area is very beautiful...rain forest and high altitude living.Very rural- if you buy there though get a thorough inspection first for damp and structure.
The puffing billy is a tourist train and is a pleasent day out .It is not connected to the train line to the city .
Commute by car will take you approx 1hr and probably the same by train.( from the station )
A lot of people consider it a worthwhile trade off - work in the city and live in the rain forest .
