Benarkin To Linville Rail Trail Walk
- Here's something different! A community Rail Trail Walk from Benarkin to Linville will be held along the Blackbutt Rail Trail this morning. If you take part you'll be able to walk the track with others, experience the quiet and beauty of the forest, see wildlife and smell the fresh mountain air as you walk down to the range to Linville, then enjoy a picnic lunch (included in the cost) of sandwiches, fruit, tea/coffee and a sweet slice before boarding a bus to be ferried back to Benarkin. The walk will kick off from Benarkin Park (8:00am for an 8:30am start) and will be followed by a support vehicle. All you really need to bring along is comfortable clothing and footwear, a hat, water, sunscreen and a sense of adventure. Tickets are $15 for adults or $8 for children aged 10 or younger, but to allow for catering tickets need to be booked and paid by August 1st (no tickets will be available today). You can book them by phoning Noeleen on (07) 4163-0413 or by emailing her.
