Great Southern Rail Trail: Loch to Bena

The well-maintained gravel path provides a fantastic way to soak in the rural charm. The trail features a moderate climb in sections—reminiscent of the effort required by the old locomotives—but the rewards are found in the expansive views and quiet atmosphere. The path is generally in great condition and uncrowded, making it a peaceful escape. The route is exposed and the open hills can get a bit gusty…
