🚲 𝗗𝗜𝗗 𝗬𝗢𝗨 𝗞𝗡𝗢𝗪? 👀

With the help of trail counters dotted along the beautiful Port Fairy - Warrnambool Rail Trail, we estimate close to 100,000 uses every year, and increasing! 🙌
Now, before anyone asks — the counters can’t tell us if you rode the full 37km, walked 2km, or just popped out for a wander on the trail. They simply count passes (so yes… riding out and back counts twice, however, when you pass a counter with someone beside you it only counts as one.😉)
And here’s the real jaw-dropper… 𝗳𝗼𝗿 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗺𝗼𝗻𝘁𝗵 𝗼𝗳 𝗝𝗮𝗻 𝟮𝟬𝟮𝟲 the counter near the Children's playground at Koroit recorded 17,373 and Port Fairy trail counter recorded 12,799.
That’s a whole lot of wheels turning, feet moving, prams strolling, kids adventuring, locals enjoying their backyard, and tourists discovering just how special our trail and region really are.

A huge thanks to the Warrnambool Hash House Harriers maintenance crew for their great work at the Illowa Siding reserve plantation on Saturday, 6th December. Seven men, mowers and brush cutters — the place looks fantastic! They definitely earned their morning tea, and even had a friendly surprise visitor pop in to supervise their Tim Tam feasting!

Spring may have finished, but our trees and shrubs along the trail are still bursting with colour, and now the sun is out we hope you have time to enjoy them. However, the weeds are also popping up with vigour as well. If you ever find yourself struck by an irresistible urge to pluck out a few of these unwelcome botanical enthusiasts, you have our permission!! Your efforts would be really appreciated!
You’ll usually find volunteers at the Koroit Railway Station and at the Port Fairy end of the Trail on Tuesday mornings. However, should you have a spare moment on any other day, your help would be just as wonderful—and just as appreciated.

A FRIENDLY REMINDER:
Please remember all dogs must remain leashed while on our Rail Trail. Recent instances of unleashed dogs have unfortunately led to a cyclist sustaining an injury trying to avoid one, and a walker expressing concerns about their safety. Also, a reminder to cyclists to show courtesy and signal their presence by either ringing their bell or announcing “passing” when approaching others. These rules are in place to ensure the safety and enjoyment of all Rail Trail users. 🚴🚶‍♀️👩‍🦽

Lost Pruning Saw – Can You Help?

A Stihl battery-operated pruning saw has accidentally slipped off the mower on the Rail Trail between Freemans gateway - North Street and Nine Mile Creek Road during a volunteer working bee two weeks ago. We are hoping someone may have picked it up, not knowing who it belongs to, and have kept it safe for us. It is frequently used for trimming overhanging branches on the trail. The Rail Trail volunteers would greatly appreciate your help. Ph 0417 535 530

Huge thanks to all the tree-planting volunteers! Last week, about 17 volunteers from Koroit and Port Fairy teamed up to plant over 400 koala-friendly bird-attracting trees for shade and shelter on the Moyne flats, near the bridge over the Moyne River. It was a great morning, bringing the total number of trees and shrubs planted on our trail to approximately 70,000 and we're not stopping yet!
