Highlights
- Cycling past the Chicory and Oast houses. Chicory is a crop used as a coffee substitute and grows well on Phillip Island. The old brick kilns are interesting to see.
- Going for a walk at Eagles Nest and looking for dinosaur fossils that can be found here.
- Take time for a break at the Outtrim Reserve and the nearby historic cemetery, all that remains of the once thriving township of Outtrim.
- The giant fish (Mullet) on the top of the Fish Creek pub. It is definitely a unique feature of the town!
- The quaint main street of Toora. There are interesting buildings from Toora’s heyday.
- You have two choices today. You can cycle to Port Welshpool and back to Foster all on the rail trail with sweeping views of Wilsons Prom
- Your morning route takes you out along the old Creamery road to Agnes Falls. Enjoy a stop at the falls picnic area and then climb back out to Hazel Park Road and a lovely drop back into Welshpool.
- Challenge rides - The Rail Trail or Ameys Track Hill
