Tips from locals
Less than 10 kms to GVR from our cottage. Ride into Mansfield approximately 12 kms or head in the other direction towards Bonnie Doon for breakfast or lunch (approximately 10kms one way) You can hire bikes and e bikes from the bike shop in Mansfield. Mansfield All terrain Cycles.
Ok so full confession, we have not personally tried this yet. But every time we take the Hume and cut through Tallarook we say that we must do the trail. It looks in brilliant condition (and flat which I like!!) with lots of sweet little towns in its path. I will try it one of these days, but you definitely should ;)
The Great Victorian Rail Trail runs from Tallarook, Trawool, Homewood, Yea, Molesworth, (Yea to Alexandra Branch Line), Yarck, Kanumbra, Merton, Bonnie Doon, Maindample, Mansfield. Formerly the rail line from Mansfield to Tallarook the trail is a great opportunity to ride, walk or cycle any part or all of a beautiful area of the heart of Victorian North Central.
