Gourmet dining with stunning Bellarine Peninsula views on Australia's unique moving restaurant
This return day trip from Melbourne is a great way to experience the best The Bellarine has to offer. Sail to The Q Train from Docklands and board for an award-winning lunch as you travel along the historic Bellarine Railway between Drysdale and Queenscliff.
Our guide to The Q Train - Q Class with Melbourne Transport
Enjoy a unique dining journey through the Bellarine Peninsula aboard The Q Train, with return coach transfers from Melbourne included. Your day begins at Mail Exchange Hotel, where you’ll meet the Explore Australia’s iconic purple bus for a comfortable transfer out of the city.
Travel via Geelong, stopping briefly at the foreshore, before arriving at Drysdale Railway Station. Here, you’ll be warmly welcomed by name, offered a complimentary drink, and shown to your table in the beautifully restored dining carriages.
As the train departs, your first course is served, with additional dishes arriving as you travel towards Queenscliff, passing rolling farmland, Australian bushland and the tranquil waters of Swan Bay. After a short stop in Queenscliff to stretch your legs, reboard the train for the return journey to Drysdale, where your final courses are served on the way back.
On arrival at Drysdale Railway Station, the Explore Australia coach will be waiting to transfer you back to Melbourne CBD, rounding off a relaxed and memorable dining experience.
