Where will it go?
These are the towns the old railway used to visit.
The original railway left the Sydney line at Heathcote Junction and travelled through Kilmore up to Heathcote and on to Bendigo or Sandhurst as it was then known.
So far, the trail has made it 20 km from Bendigo to Axedale. When it goes all the way to Kilmore it will be over 100 km long.
We’d like the route of the trail to follow as closely as possible the original alignment – not always possible now so we expect the trail will have to make some diversions.
Where’s all that in relation to Melbourne?
Just to put it into perspective, here’s central Victoria in relation to Melbourne. You can also see how close the Bendigo-Kilmore trail would take you to the start of the Goulburn River High Country trail that will start at Talllarook (just south of Seymour on this map).
