This morning we headed north to Murgon on the South Burnett
Rail Trail. This trail is fully
bitumised, and being an old railway line has gentle gradients, with a few small
steeper parts of descent in and out of creeks where there are no longer railway
bridges. This section of the rail trail crosses a few roads but is largely very
peaceful country. It made me think of a
bushwalk or trail run but with a smooth bitumen base beneath my feet. After a
brief look around Murgon we then headed back to Wondai. Being December, this was a hot walk by the
time we got back in the early afternoon.
After a delightful and well-earned shower, we decided to have a look at
some of the rest of the trail from the comfort of our air-conditioned vehicle
(the remainder of the trail running more or less parallel to the highway). We headed south through Tingoora to Wooroolin
Wetlands. This is a large wetland area
which developed following a small earthquake and as such has the skeletons of
drowned trees in it. Due to the
prolonged drought the bird hide is now some distance from the water, however it
is still quite pretty.
We then headed
back to Wondai to the public swimming pool for a relax and cool down.http://www.southburnett.qld.gov.au/aquatic-centres
