Waranga Rail Trail
The Waranga Rail Trail comprises 19 kms of accessible track which follows the alignment of the decommissioned railway line from Rushworth to Murchison.
The trail links the gold mining town of Rushworth and Goulburn River town of Murchison and is a perfect trail for bike riders, walkers and runners.
If you start or finish In Rushworth, take time to stroll along the wide, elegant High Street, lined with historic buildings and a century old Band Rotunda classified by the National Trust.
Immerse yourself in the fascinating local history and when you are ready indulge in lunch or snacks from the bakery or local café and take time to enjoy the quaint and quirky retail stores and artist studio.
The Rushworth Museum is housed in the former Mechanics Institute and boasts more than 4000 items related to local history, while the nearby Whroo Cemetery is maintained as a historic site, reflecting the area's gold mining past.
Nature enthusiasts can explore the world’s largest Ironbark forests surrounding the town, and nearby waterways such as Waranga Basin.
If you find yourself in Murchison, on the banks of the Goulburn River, there is a popular bakery in the main street featuring heritage buildings, public amenities in the riverside park, and the popular historical museum which showcases a piece of the famous Murchison meteorite.
