East Gippsland Rail Trail
100 Kilometres of natural diversity running from Bairnsdale to Orbost - Stop-over in Nowa Nowa
East Gippsland Rail Trail starts at Howitt Park on the east bank of the Mitchell River at Bairnsdale, riding past farmland for 10 kms to Nicholson (sealed surface) with its spectacular bridge over the river.
Then 22 kms to Bruthen and across the Tambo River, up into the Colquhoun forest where you will have ridden 59 kms en route to Nowa Nowa and Lake Tyers after another stunning trestle bridge.
The section east from Nowa Nowa is shady and very scenic as it arrives at Orbost across the river flats through fertile farming country.
Further details and conditions of entry can be found on the website.
