About the Brisbane Valley Rail Trail
The Brisbane Valley Rail Trail, at 161km, is the longest rail trail in Australia. It commences in North Ipswich, near sea level, and tracks up the Brisbane Valley through the towns of Fernvale, Lowood, Coominya, Esk, Toogoolawah, Moore, Linville. The trail then climbs the Great Dividing Range more steeply to Blackbutt and terminates around 500m above sea level at Yarraman.
Note: There is drinking water located along the ‘Brassall Bikeway’ section (between Wulkuraka and Brassall), immediately south of Workshops St, and in John Murphy Park, Brassall
Both Esk and Toogoolawah have cafes that open onto the rail trail. The new cafe at Esk, Brisbane Valley Roasters, provides eight external power points for free charging of ebikes at a bespoke bike rack within the grounds of the cafe. The Grand Hotel in Esk provides 20 external power points around its outside beer garden for ebike charging.
The Toogoolawah station building is a small museum and regular markets are held in the former station yards. Accommodation options include the Toogoolawah Motel, Exchange Hotel and the Pedlars’ Rest.
