Officially opened in 2012 under the name Goulburn River High Country Rail Trail, it was renamed The Great Victorian Rail Trail in 2013. The Burra Country crew engages in cycling and walking along rail trails, showcasing these valuable public access routes that connect towns formerly linked by rail lines. Promoting regional towns and events, they emphasize the enjoyment of such activities. During their visit, they stayed in Bonnie Doon for four nights, engaging in cycling, walking, and exploring the surrounding area. Alexandra route: On day one of this ride I did a silly thing and hurt my knee. By the end of the day it felt pretty bad. So on day 2 I decided not to do the Alexandra side trail. Now completed it was worth the 7 hours driving return to get there and back for a day trip. #bike #railtrail #biketrail
