Geocache Description:

The railway from Moe to Yallourn was constructed in the 1950's to replace the original branch line, which joined the main line between Moe and Morwell.  The new line meant that heavy coal trains didn't have to climb through the Haunted Hills.  The new line was subsequently closed in 1986, when briquette production was moved to Morwell.


Features

  • A short, flat trail with some farmland and lake views
  • The imposing Yallourn power station provides interest at the end of the trail
  • Wildflowers abound in spring
  • Recent works along the trail have resulted in some sections with a rough stony surface that needs to be taken slowly on a bike. Vehicular access near the power station end has also caused some unevenness of the trail.
