About the Bass Coast Rail Trail
The Bass Coast Rail Trail is 23km and extends from Woolamai (near Philip Island) to Wonthaggi, running near the South Gippsland coast for much of that distance. Besides cute towns like Kilcunda and Dalyston, it has an iconic beachside trestle bridge.
A section of the rail trail is closed between the Lower Powlett Road and Daly Street, Dalyston until mid-June 2026 to replace the Powlett River bridge. Notice of closures are placed at the Mouth of Powlett Road, Pony Club car park and Daly Street, Dalyston. A diversion on quiet roads has been put in place as shown on our map. Appropriate traffic and pedestrian control measures will be implemented onsite during these works.
The trail starts with a bit of a whimper in Woolamai while local government struggles with the complexities of getting it 24km north-east to the original junction near Nyora. The trail is predominantly crushed granite with 1km sealed at the Wonthaggi end.
Sand appears on the Kilcunda section when it is windy and the wooden bridges require care.
