Rediscover the Great Victorian Rail Trail

The Great Victorian Rail Trail in Victoria’s High Country runs from Tallarook to Mansfield with a branch line to Alexandra and can be explored on foot, bike or horse. This unique rail trail features a series of artworks and offers close proximity to heritage classified rivers, majestic valleys, lakes and mountains.

The Great Victorian Rail Trail Map and Pocket Guide are information packed resources for everything GVRT.

TRAIL HIGHLIGHTS

ART TRAIL

Eight artists took inspiration from the theme of connections, each responding differently, exploring such things as connection to country,  the local environment, and the history of the trail

CHEVIOT TUNNEL

Located midway between Yea and Molesworth, the Cheviot Tunnel is the longest rail trail tunnel in Victoria. The 210 meter tunnel is an ideal spot to take break and explore!

TRAWOOL VALLEY

Don't miss the stunning scenery of the Trawool Valley. Rolling hills, green fields and the Goulburn River flowing along the valley floor makes this part of the Great Victorian Rail Trail a must.

BY THE SHORES OF LAKE EILDON

The Great Victorian Rail Trail boasts almost 50 water crossings as it follows the Goulburn River and traverses a glimmering Lake Eildon over the Bonnie Doon Bridge. Pack a picnic or a rod and while away a relaxing afternoon by the shores of the lake.

Strutting into Spring on the Great Victorian Rail Trail. Horse riders can ride along the length of the GVRT. The main track is shared with walkers and cyclists, but separate horse trails are marked alongside the main trail in many places.

Water and horse yards are available at designated spots, but you may need to arrange your own water and tie-up facilities if you're planning a longer ride. Yards with water tanks and troughs have been installed along the trail. Head to the Horse Riding section our website to find out more about these locations.
