Grand Ridge Rail Trail

Grand Ridge Rail Trail

Mirboo North - Boolarra | 13km one way

Swing through enchanting hilly countryside and eucalypt forest with a background track of birdsong. This gently descending trail, complete with two arch bridges, makes for a scenic bushland ride.

AT A GLANCE

Track: Generally smooth dirt or gravel track

Grade: Level 1

Start: Behind the Grand Ridge Brewery, Mirboo North

Finish: Railway Park, Boolarra

Getting there: Travel via Monash Fwy (M1) and South Gippsland Hwy (A440) to Leongatha. Then follow Strzelecki Hwy (B460) to Mirboo North approximately 160km south-east of Melbourne.

Start your journey filling your energy reserves at one of Mirboo North’s warm country kitchens or take a cooking class with Jacican. Admire the colourful murals adorning the town’s heritage buildings then browse the fashion, craft, textiles and jewellery at the butter factory-turned-gift store, The ARTSpace.

The gentle descent through forest regrowth from the 2009 bushfires makes for an emerald-hued ride. The halfway point at Darlimurla has an information shelter with trail map and the Big Tree, a remnant of the exquisite tall trees that used to grow in the area.

Enjoy the downhill ride and river crossings over arch bridges. When you arrive in Boolarra, enjoy a cheeky treat from the general store or celebrate your triumphant ride with a cleansing ale in the classic rustic pub.
