Some of Santa’s Helpers were spotted riding along on the O’Keefe Rail Trail this past weekend in East Bendigo! The five riders, dressed in red and white plus matching hats ,were full of laughter and heading from Bendigo to Strathfieldsaye.

Unsure whether Santa on his sleigh (non motorised!) was also expected to be using the trail, yet his helpers were definitely happy not to be mixing their trip (or drinks!!) with the busy pre-Christmas road traffic.

The Friends of the Bendigo-Kilmore Rail Trail wish their many followers and supporters a safe, happy Christmas and New Year. May you enjoy some ‘escape’ time exploring trails, meeting new friends, spending trail time with family, tasting local wines or produce, perhaps even ‘getting lost’ enjoying the Australian natural bush over the festive holiday season!

Happy Christmas

Happy Christmas, from your Australian Friends
