The Brisbane Valley Rail Trail, BVRT, and the Kingaroy Kilkivan Rail Trail, KKRT, in southern Queensland are two of Australia’s very best rail trails. Cycling a ‘link route’ between these two iconic rail trails creates an amazing cycle journey of over 300 kilometres.
The cycling is on mixed surfaces of gravel, dirt and asphalt and is achievable for anyone of reasonable fitness and cycling ability. Along the route you’ll pass through prime agricultural land, a rugged mountain range and forests of Blackbutt, Hoop Pine and Cedar. Stops at historical townships with good coffee and bakery items, interesting museums and friendly pubs are all part of the BVRT experience.
At night, stay in comfortable accommodation and soak up the atmosphere of country Queensland towns. With all your logistics taken care of, including transfers, bike hire, luggage transfers and accommodation bookings, all you need to do is enjoy the cycle day and take in the expansive scenery of this truly outstanding route.
