Route: O'Keefe Rail Trail

Opening in 2015, the O'Keefe Rail Trail begins in Bendigo and covers a varied landscape of farmland, forest and scenic trail beside Lake Eppalock before the final stretch into Heathcote. There are a number of interesting features along the trail including old rail platforms, the Platypus Compass, and areas of cultural significance which are worth a look, as well as a few small towns which include Axedale at roughly the half way point with toilets and a playground right next to the trail.
