It started with an email that Garry Long sent to council asking what’s happening about the O’Keefe rail trail. He just happened to cc Eddie Barkla and that started the ball rolling. People who all get excited at the thought of developing the trail so it actually goes somewhere started coming out of the woodwork.
Since then we’ve met with the City of Greater Bendigo’s recreation area and spoken to councillors, Bendigo Tourism, Heathcote Tourism and Development, the Mitchell BUG and anyone we can accost on the street, by phone or email.
Forgive us if this site looks a little spartan for a while. We’ll keep working on it and publishing news and more information about the development of the trail. Stay posted.
