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!

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

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.

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.

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...
