    About the Trail Now the longest rail trail in Australia, the 161 km Brisbane Valley Rail Trail (BVRT) follows the disused Brisbane Valley rail line that commenced construction at Wulkuraka near Ipswich in 1884 and was completed at Yarraman in 1913. The BVRT winds its way up the Brisbane valley, traversing farmland, forests, picturesque rural settings and country towns. Being on the old railway line, the BVRT provides an off-road climb up the valley for day trippers, overnight camping or longer term adventures, but some sections can be more challenging. BVRT GUIDE now available. Although it’s open all year round, some sections of the BVRT may be closed for short periods following severe weather events. Check out the DTMR webpage for up-to-date information. Where is the Trail The BVRT officially starts at Wulkuraka Station in Ipswich and then continues to Fernvale, before looping westwards to Lowood and then continuing north to Coominya, Esk, Toogoolawah, Moore, Linville, Benarkin, and Blackbutt before finally arriving in Yarraman. Or you can do it the other way around.  Out There Cycling provides an excellent shuttle service. Tip: North to South is easier than South to North as there is more downhill. What kind of bicycle is most suitable? Cyclists ride the BVRT on all types of bicycle, but some sections can be quite challenging. MTBs and cyclocross bikes are recommended. The BVRT is definitely unsuitable for light-weight racing bicycles. E-bikes are permitted and are a great way to enjoy the rail trail. Eat and Sleep Most of the towns along the BVRT have a variety of pubs, bakeries, shops and cafes that offer excellent food and drink. Overnight accommodation is available in Fernvale, Lowood, Esk, Toogoolawah, Moore, Linville, Blackbutt and Yarraman. Be sure to take plenty of drinking water, although there are water troughs for horses at several locations on the trail. Recommended places to Eat and Sleep.
