What to expect
Ride or walk the 385 metre long Bonnie Doon Rail Bridge, providing a great vantage spot to stop and take in the panoramic views of the lake and surrounding hillsides, before arriving at Bonnie Doon's main street. Pedestrians, cyclists and horseriders use the the former train bridge (running parallel with the traffic bridge) across Lake Eildon, which was converted into a cycle / walking bridge in 1999, and now forms part of the Great Victorian Rail Trail. The bridge was renamed the Glad Phillips Bridge in 2019 after one of the residents who campaigned for the upgrading of the bridge, paving the way for its use by pedestrians and cyclists.or walk
