Linville Hotel

Highlight • Pub

Linville has free camping and hot showers available. A good place to camp before tackling the constant ascent to Blackbutt. The ascent is not steep along the rail trail, but it is a constant pedal to get to the top.

A memorial to those who lost their lives constructing this section of rail.

Deep within the Benarkin state forest is an unholy construction.... How it got there, no-one knows...

A shrine to the railway gods.....

Roy Emerson Museum

Highlight • Historical Site

Great little museum showcasing some of the area's history, including a fair whack on Roy Emerson who was a Blackbutt native. The statue of him outside is quite something!

Blackbutt Woodfired Bakehouse

Highlight • Cafe

Pretty damn good! Another great bakery servicing the BVRT.

Fuel yourself for the final leg to Yarraman, or alternatively, get a good start on the rest of it!
