Once here, the Murray to Mountains Rail Trail is at the top end of the court, so you can walk or ride to nearby Bright (6km) or local Porepunkah Wineries. There are Vline buses that depart from outside Punkah Pantry heading towards Bright or Wangaratta, as well as numerous private operators to help you with any other transport needs.
