We just need some better weather to encourage us to get out there – this year has not been kind in Victoria – and as at the 1st December, we are still waiting for a glimpse of summer. We did ride the Murwillumbah section of the NRRT back in July – it is very good indeed, but the extensions to come will make it one of the best and most scenic in Australia I'm sure.

We are totally hooked on these routes ,taking in the history that built the lines and there communities.
Locals where very supportive with information on our travels as well as the use of publications from yourselves.
Prior to this we travelled Tasmania connecting with as many rail trails as we could . It was fantastic.
This has given us inspiration to ride the rail trails in Victoria and your publication is invaluable in the planning of this. Visiting these towns has been an added bonus and learning about the past of these areas.
Look forward to more areas opening up and keep up the good work.
