While out riding, running, or walking along the O’Keefe Rail Trail, do people wonder how this trail has been supported by volunteers?
Community group Friends of the Bendigo-Kilmore Rail Trail members continue to have a close association with the O’Keefe Rail Trail, investing significant volunteer hours, as well as raising money to fund trail projects.
A number of projects have been jointly funded by various community grants from private companies, community organisations, and the City of Greater Bendigo, with the Friends group.
Over the past 16 years, the group has been involved with providing 21 table-seat units, 6 station name boards, various identification- road crossing signs, 2 bike maintenance stations, 2 water stations, 3 replica railway station platforms, 2 railway road gates, numerous concrete railway ‘mile posts’, and a restored heritage railway wagon with its own railway line, to name just a few.
