Back Roads – South Burnett Rail Trail

ABC BackroadsWhen Queensland’s South Burnett rail line closed after a century of servicing communities in the region, it seemed the beginning of the end. But ABC Back Roads presenter Lisa Millar (who grew up in the area) discovers new life and prosperity is coming down the same corridor in the form of cyclists, tourists and runners.

The Rail Trail is bringing thousands of people to the region, as well as uniting the locals in the towns along the trail – running, walking, cycling and even riding horses along the trail. Last year 32,000 people passed one of the Rail Trail measuring points at Kingaroy!
