About the Murray to Mountains Rail Trail
The Murray to Mountains is one of Australia's premier rail trails, with its entire 137km sealed. It connects the great towns of Wangaratta, Myrtleford, Bright, Beechworth and Yackandandah in the mountains and links Rutherglen to Wahgunyah on the Murray River.
The Murray to Mountains offers a rich variety of experiences, from the Murray River in the north to the foothills of the Australian Alps to the east. The region has a strong focus on visitors, exemplified by its Ride High Country initiative. The rail trail actually encompasses four branch lines. There are gaps in the network, with connecting routes that may involve riding on roads. There are numerous ways to extend your ride or walk, or shorten it.
Wangaratta is a major regional centre with a range of historic buildings, parks, restaurants, accommodation options and a train service. For public transport options, scroll down to GET AROUND and click on SHOW MORE if necessary
There are ESTA marker posts along the trail. In an emergency, call 000 and quote the alpha-numeric code on the post nearest to you, for example MTM111, to get help.
