The Loddon Shire is launching its 6.8-kilometer Queens Gully Trail and eight kilometre Blue Mallee Trail on March 21.
“These new trails capture the essence of Loddon Shire’s natural and historical highlights,” Loddon mayor Cheryl McKinnon said.
“Along with our region’s existing tracks and trails, the new Queens Gully and Blue Mallee trails provide another fantastic outlet for people to get out and enjoy the Shire’s scenic environment.”
The trails are designed for walking and as family-friendly rides for mountain and hybrid bikes, according to the shire.
A QR code on signage at the start of the trails lets users download pertinent information, including a map, to their smartphone.
The Department of Environment, Land, Water and Planning, Wedderburn Tourism, Parks Victoria, Bush Heritage, Wedderburn Development Association and the Wedderburn community have partnered with the shire to develop the new trails.
The Queens Gully and Blue Mallee trails will be launched at 10.30am on March 21 at the historic reservoir behind the caravan park at Butterick Lane, Wedderburn.
Other tracks and trails in the Loddon Shire are located in Boort, Bridgewater, Inglewood, Laanecoorie, Pyramid Hill, Serpentine and Tarnagulla.
