Esk Bakery & Café

Highlight • Cafe

If you thought the pies at Fernvale were good. These are much better!

Harlin Free Camp

Highlight • Rest Area

Free to use for riders of the BVRT.

The toilets here were pretty grim we when landed and the grass had turned into a swamp, so perhaps a dry weather campsite.

Brisbane Valley Rail Trail

Highlight • Trail

Be prepared to fix a flat tyre or three. Spare tubes are handy, as well as a spare patch kit. You might be luckier than I was though.

Harlin Pub

Highlight • Pub

Please pay these guys a visit if you're spending the night nearby (or they have rooms there if you need one). They are so hospitable and very kind people.

Yimbun Railway Tunnel

Highlight • Structure

Iconic landmark of the BVRT.

Watch out for horse-riders as the tunnel was full of them when we arrived and that could potentially make for an awkward situation...
