A new guide covering the South Burnett Rail Trail has been released and can be downloaded online.
The guide’s authors are Brisbane mountain bike enthusiasts Gillian Duncan and Mark Roberts.
Their company, Organised Grime, is best known for the popular book “Where To Mountain Bike In South East Queensland”, a guide to almost 3500km of mountain bike trails covering the area from northern NSW to Bundaberg, and west to Stanthorpe.
It has sold 13,000 copies and an updated and expanded 5th edition was recently released.
Organised Grime has also produced a detailed guidebook for the Brisbane Valley Rail Trail, which is now in its second edition.
This week the company released a guide to the Kilkivan to Kingaroy Rail Trail, including the South Burnett Rail Trail.
The 20-page guide contains street maps for all towns along the route (including Nanango, which technically isn’t on the trail, but was once the railhead for the Theebine line).
It also contains notes about many nearby sites of interest such as Boat Mountain, Gordonbrook Dam and the South Burnett Mountain Bike Club’s tracks in Wondai’s McEuen Forestry.
The guide provides a thumbnail view of accommodation options along the route; photos of local scenes; and advice about riding conditions on different sections of the trail.
It also includes several suggested routes between Kingaroy and Yarraman for riders who would like to press on to tackle the Brisbane Valley Rail Trail, or vice versa.
At the moment the guide is only available as a PDF download, but Organised Grime hopes to produce a printed version in the future.
The guidebook can be purchased for $6 from Organised Grime’s website.
