Hike Summary
This trail follows a short section of the former East Ballarat - Buninyong railway (Bunny).
This very short trail is suitable for a stroll, with the Eureka Centre as the destination.
The trail continues through a cutting, across a road (with rails still in the road), alongside a caravan park to the trail end. Here there is another historic sign board at the north edge of the Eureka Centre car park.
This trail was a branch line from East Ballarat to Buninyong and ran for 11km. It opened in 1889 and closed in 1986.

This is a nice easy walk, took my 9 year old daughter and she breezed through. She is not a keen walker.
