UnderstandThe Gippsland Plains Rail Trail covers the path of the former Maffra railway line. It provided an alternative route to East Gippsland that bypassed Sale.
PrepareMobile phone coverage is generally pretty good along the track, so nothing like a satellite phone is necessary, and you shouldn't be any further from a town during your journey than 5 km.
Get inAt both ends of the rail trail, there are rail connections, so it's very easy to get to the starting point on both ends.
CycleThis guide goes through a trip on the Gippsland Plains Rail Trail originating in Traralgon, but this advice can be adapted if you're travelling from Stratford.
Go nextAfter you've completed the rail trail, you can head to Melbourne and check out the bustling capital of Victoria.
