About this place

Visit Victoria records a 134-kilometre rail trail through the region, with former railway infrastructure along the route.

The record

Comparison: The published trail length, including its route network.

Other Victorian trails have expanded, so no current longest-trail winner is asserted here. Ride a suitable section rather than treating the full network as a day outing.
