Take a rolling good country getaway in the fun hamlet of Yarck. The Great Victorian Rail Trail runs right through the heart of Yarck and its cute cafes and retail shops. Kickstart your adventure with a coffee and delicious smelling natural soap souvenir at Dindi Naturals before pedalling out of town past friendly cows and horses. Stop at the colourful outdoor artwork 'Soul Train' for a break and an Instagram shot. Continue on over Goulburn River and historic wooden trestle bridge remnants until you reach the majestic Cheviot Tunnel. This 201km engineering feat was built in 1889 out of handmade bricks. Pedal through the inky blackness and test the echo.
