About this place
What to expect
Due to extensive fire damage in January 2026 the Yea to Alexandra and Bonnie Doon sections of the rail trail are closed. The Great Victorian Rail Trail is Victoria's longest continuous rail trail and also features the longest rail trail tunnel at Cheviot. The trail spans 134 kilometres from Tallarook, through Yea to Mansfield. The trail travels through beautiful countryside following the heritage classified Goulburn River at Tallarook and passes through the Trawool Valley, classified by the National Trust for its scenic beauty. You can take a ride through the historic 201 metre long Cheviot Tunnel and explore the old Alexandra Station with its Timber Tramway and Museum. The Great Victorian Rail Trail boasts almost 50 water crossings as it follows the Goulburn River and traverses a glimmering Lake Eildon on its way to the Victorian High Country.
