The Gippsland Plains Rail Trail is a wonderful and exciting asset for all to enjoy

Explore one of Victoria’s most picturesque regions as you walk, cycle, or ride your way through the Central Gippsland countryside. The Gippsland Plains Rail Trail starts at Traralgon in the west – only a short train ride from Melbourne – and winds through Glengarry, Toongabbie, Cowwarr, Heyfield, Tinamba, and Maffra,  before concluding at Stafford.

Encompassing many sites and locations with natural and historical significance, there’s plenty to see and do along the trail.

For the most part, the Gippsland Plains Rail Trail follows what was the railway line between Traralgon and Stratford (via Heyfield and Maffra), which was opened in 1883 to connect Far East Gippsland and Central Gippsland with Melbourne via an alternative route (Traralgon to Stratford via Rosedale and Sale being the other).

Given that timber was already being transported by rail to Melbourne from Orbost, the alternative route would allow rail transportation of the timber being produced in Heyfield, and service the thriving sugar beet industry in Maffra.

An important example of flora and fauna indigenous to the Gippsland region.
