Linville Hotel

Highlight • Pub

Linville has free camping and hot showers available. A good place to camp before tackling the constant ascent to Blackbutt. The ascent is not steep along the rail trail, but it is a constant pedal to get to the top.

Brisbane Valley Rail Trail

Highlight • Trail

Be prepared to fix a flat tyre or three. Spare tubes are handy, as well as a spare patch kit. You might be luckier than I was though.

Please pay these guys a visit if you're spending the night nearby (or they have rooms there if you need one). They are so hospitable and very kind people.

Harlin Free Camp

Highlight • Rest Area

Free to use for riders of the BVRT.

The toilets here were pretty grim we when landed and the grass had turned into a swamp, so perhaps a dry weather campsite.

Yimbun Railway Tunnel

Highlight • Structure

Iconic landmark of the BVRT.

Watch out for horse-riders as the tunnel was full of them when we arrived and that could potentially make for an awkward situation...

If you thought the pies at Fernvale were good. These are much better!

Brisbane Valley Rail Trail. Easy ride, gravel with some slight undulations and short sharp pitches through some of the gullies. Nice views of farmlands and historical towns.
