19.01.2022 We got a good write up in ‘The Somerset’ local paper last week which said The idea is that we would take our time, enjoy the sights, take photos and walk the p...ace of the slowest walker, or at least wait for them (I will be one of them). We will be taken by bus to and from the start/finish each day. There is no charge from us but there will be a charge for the out There Cycling bus. We plan to have lunch at Blackbutt day 1, Linville day 2, and Harlin day 3. For more information phone Ron Grant in 5423 1144 before 6pm.

01.01.2022 What is the Brisbane Valley Rail Trail? The Brisbane Valley Rail Trail (BVRT) follows the disused Brisbane Valley rail line that commenced construction at Wulkuraka near Ipswich in 1884 and was completed at Yarraman in 1913. The BVRT winds its way along the western side of the Brisbane River traversing farm land, forests, picturesque rural settings and country towns. Being on the old railway line, the BVRT provides an easy climb up the valley for day trippers, overnight campi...ng or longer term adventures. Where is the Trail The BVRT starts at Wulkuraka Station in Ipswich and then continues to Fernvale, before looping westwards to Lowood and then continuing north to Coominya, Esk and Toogoolawah and Moore. From Moore the trail continues northwards to Linville before turning west to Benarkin, Blackbutt and finally Yarraman.
