Sunday June 15 – Ride cancelled Murchison: Waranga Rail Trail

We have cancelled this coming Sunday’s ride and will move it to (hopefully) warmer weather later in the year.  Stay warm.

Tony will lead the ride on the newest rail trail in Victoria with an out and back format (39km), beginning at the Murchison Historical Society car park and public toilet. Coffee in Rushworth and Lunch on return at Murchison.

After years of planning and construction, the newest rail trail in Victoria, Waranga Rail Trail, opened for users on Tuesday 1 April.

 

Its completion provides the local region with a 19 km rail trail following the alignment of the decommissioned railway line from Rushworth to Murchison. The trail traverses through beautiful bushland and the scenic Waranga Basin. The townships at each end – Rushworth and Murchison – both have excellent bakeries, shops, picnic areas and amenities.

The track is asphalt and gravel, this ride may be viewed at https://ridewithgps.com/routes/50173645
