Brisbane Valley Rail Trail

[wigz]

I spent three days this week walking part of the Brisbane Valley Rail Trail with a local (to me) walking group. Camped at Esk and walked 46km in three day hikes using car shuttles to the start and end points . Mornings were a bit cool - down to -0.8 according to the weather bureau.

Here are a few of the many photos from the walk.

1. Rusting spikes and rails

3. Old bridge. Most of the old bridges are closed for safety as they haven't been maintained

Wonderful to see these shots Alan. Great Australian colours and the closeups of the railroad nails/spikes are superb! Your outing would have been a photographers paradise.

Thanks Isac. Not quite a paradise as you are limited to the track, and being part of a group, you can't lag too far behind, but still plenty of opportunities.

Hi Alan

I'm envious - a damn fine walk you've done and the images show us some of the fun you've enjoyed

Thanks Phil. It’s further than I’ve walked for quite a few years but I coped ok.

Yes, well seen and photo'd. Hand and Knees job by the looks.....

-0.8c must have been a shock to the system. My first visit to Brisbane in June 1970 had a frost also...........

Thanks Mark. It had been rather warmer for the few days before we started so it was a bit of a shock, but the weather was otherwise very good.
