South Burnett Rail Trail Loop Rides

Six New Loop rides have been added to the Rail Trail experience in the South Burnett.

---

There are six new ways to experience the Rail Trail in the South Burnett. Loop Rides have been added to the Rail Trail with the project reaching completion in 2021. All loops are fully signposted and mapped on Trailforks. There are information boards in Memerambi, Wooroolin and Tingoora. Each sign along the routes has a QR code for that route, so that you can see where you are at any time. Each loop utilises quiet dirt and bitumen backroads. Some routes lead to view points, on these route there is climbing. However all climbs are easy to moderate in nature.

There are two Loop Rides starting and finishing in the towns of Memerambi, Wooroolin and Tingoora. These routes showcase something special about the South Burnett. Whether it is the rich red soil, rolling countryside or farming life, there is something for everyone. Why not take some time to explore some of these loops the next time you are in the South Burnett?

The Loop Rude project has been a collaboration between the South Burnett Rail Trail Users Association, South Burnett Regional Council, Mark Roberts from "Organised Grime" and the Gaming Machine Community Benefit Fund.
