WHAT TO EXPECT
The Wandong Regional Park Loop is one of Australia’s longest continuous rail trails, stretching 134 kilometers across the picturesque Victorian countryside. It follows the route of the former Mansfield to Tallarook railway line, which was closed in 2008. Today, the trail is a popular destination for cyclists, walkers, and nature lovers, offering a scenic journey through historic towns, lush farmland, forests, and rolling hills.
This event will include walking the final stretch of the Wandong Regional Park Loop where it ends at the little country town of Wandong.
The trail will have gentle inclines and beautiful scenery and is a great track for any fitness level!
We'll be catching the V-Line train together as group! (Tickets Included).
*Special membership ticket price also available to members*
To get to the start point all participants will meet at Boost Juice, Southern Cross Train Station and catch the train to the start point in Wandong. This will also include the return trip back to Southern Cross.
