This RAIL TRAIL is missing something! - CABOOLTURE TO WAMURAN RAIL TRAIL
The Caboolture to Wamuran Rail Trail is good but I couldn't help but feel "short-changed" after riding it. It is missing something that could have made it memorable. Don't get me wrong - it is a fantastic cycleway, and I'm glad I rode it... but it misses some key elements that all historic rail trails need. I'll leave that for you to figure out...
