Rode the full length from Bairnsdale to Orbost. Track condition and scenery are awesome from Bairnsdale to Nowa Nowa and rated 5/5. However between Nowa Nowa and Orbost the trail becomes less maintained and more of a vehicle track with what seems long-term ruts, and a larger river rock type of surface that should only be attempted with a mountain bike and spare tubes/puncture kit and some extra time....…

Didn’t ride the trail but stops at numerous attractions along rail trail. Quite a few attractive trestle bridges along trail the best being the Stony Creek trestle bridge. Another highlight was the Mitchell River area near Bairnsdale

We stayed at Tostaree farm stay which was lovely and Vicky very friendly. Rode our bikes from there to Orbost and back spending time at Orbost bakery did some shopping in the supermarket.

At bruthen we went to the bulla t brewery for a beautiful lunch.
