25.01.2022 Questions and offers-to-help were coming thick and fast Thursday night when we hosted our first members' evening. By Zoom, but no less engaging for the virtual thing since it brought us together from across Central Victoria. Great to welcome new members from Maryborough and Newstead, and to be joined by a representative from Rail Trails Australia too. How to carry the message locally was a key talking point. Looking forward to more of these. From little things, big things grow. (Thanks for the prod, Mick Evans!) #railtrailsaustralia #railtrail

24.01.2022 33 passionate members. And growing. That's our tally after only few weeks of low key spruiking. "Dirty knee", if it was bingo; Eyllse Perry most likely at the crease if it was one-day cricket. Either way, we're humbled, friends. From Maryborough to Castlemaine, we salute you! And remember, please nudge a friend TO JOIN. P.S. Our online petition is coming soon :-)... #maryborough #castlemaine #railtrailsaustralia Central Goldfields Shire Council Mount Alexander Shire Council See more

24.01.2022 A huge thank you to the wonderful people at Macedon Ranges. You've been generous to a tee in encouraging us over the past few weeks while you stride forward with your own $10m funded, 24km shared trail that's only a short hop to our south. You've grabbed the baton and are running with it. Hard! Thank you Michelle + Eleanor! We will stand on the shoulders of giants!!! https://www.mrsc.vic.gov.au//Macedon-Ranges-Shared-Trail-P Macedon Ranges Shire Council Mountalexandershire.com #railtrailsaustralia

24.01.2022 Some amazing gigs coming up at the peerless The Guildford Family Hotel the next few weeks. Frankly, this is just the kind of thing that'll bring visitors from far and wide when the rail trail's opened up. Meanwhile, thanks Al! And, people, do yourself a favour! Book now! #railtrailsaustralia #railtrail Mount Alexander Shire Council

19.01.2022 We hear you, @Teresa! Thanks for adding your voice to the rising chorus for action. Guildford Community Guildford, Victoria, Australia Mount Alexander Shire Council Rail Trails Australia

17.01.2022 Gather round, people! From little things, big things grow. A gathering is certainly what happened when CMRT ambassadors Lou Citroen, Christine Christie and Mick Evans pitched our tent at the Wesley Hill Market early this morning. People flocked to hear about the proposed rail trail, sign our petition http://chng.it/Fg5kSDYB and join up as members. So, thank you Mt Alexandrians and visitors: we're building the path to this trail on gratitude :-) Mount Alexander Shire Council http://wesleyhillmarket.com.au/

16.01.2022 Thank you from the bottom of our hearts! Some 72 hours after we launched our petition 530 wonderful people have joined the chorus. That's about one of you every 10 minutes. We simply couldn't have reached the 500 milestone without passion and a willingness to share. Now, let's gather round and build this call-to action to 1000!...

12.01.2022 Wonderful to hear bustle and chatter from Guildford community when ABC Central Victoria came to town this morning. It was a carnival-like under the eaves at Guildford General Store. Lots of topics aired with ABC presenters - among them the Castlemaine - Maryborough rail trail. Thanks to ABC's Matt Tribe and Fiona Parker, the Grumpies, Guildford Progress Association, and Emily Zepnick & Co from the wonderful Guildford General Store. (Great work Bob Forde, Mick Evans & Lou Citr...oen!) Mount Alexander Shire Council Rail Trails Australia ABC Central Victoria See more

12.01.2022 What a beautiful connection @Bridget. Thank you! We think so too. Thanks for adding some beautiful Belfast song to our chorus for action! Mount Alexander Shire Council Rail Trails Australia

12.01.2022 Gather round people, and build the voice for this rail trail. SIGN our petition today! Just launched. Be one of the first! Pass it onto your friends too. We'd be super grateful ... And you'll be making a big difference too! See more

11.01.2022 Rationality comes like a cool breeze on a hot day. We felt our brow cooled, and that little bit uplifted and enlightened after we read Philip Mallis' local blog on why rail trails are a social good. He's a potential sceptic. But with a POV that's as clear as day. Read on. https://philipmallis.com/blog/2020//22/gunzels-rail-trails/

06.01.2022 On your bike, Castlemaine! Via a timely holler out from our good friends at CycleSafe Mount Alexander. Starting Sunday at 10am, the good people are running 5 x "community rides" through Summer and early Autumn. Perfect for meeting others, finding local tracks or just relearning the joys of an everyday movement. More details via CycleSafe Mount Alexander.... See you out there! #cycling #railtrailsaustralia Mount Alexander Shire Council #castlemaine See more
