East Gippsland Rail Trail  

Tracing the path of the old railway line, the trail begins in Bairnsdale, just north of the Gippsland lakes, and heads east through grazing land toward the small farming township of Nicholson. After travelling for 8.5km, it crosses an old railway bridge spanning the Nicholson River.

Weaving its way through tall forest, the 21.5km undulating section from Nicholson to Bruthen offers spectacular views of the Mossiface flats. Finishing in the township of Nowa Nowa, the trail is hoped to extend to Orbost, and eventually the seaside town of Marlo at the mouth of the Snowy River.

Bruthen
Situated in the Tambo River valley (where the mountains meet the plains), the town is a gateway to the snowfields and the Snowy mountain country to the north.  The attractions within Bruthen are mainly natural. The Fairy Dell Scenic Reserve - a rainforest on the outskirts of town is the obvious choice for a visit. Don't forget to visit the township for lunch!

Nowa Nowa
The Trestle Bridge and Gorge Lookout are two of Nowa Nowa's main attractions but its also a great place to visit - try cycling along the East Gippsland Rail Trail.
