The importance of the railway has always been the emphases by the townsfolk, with Newbridge winning a number of awards for one of the best presented stations in the State. The Queen's Royal Train stopped overnight at Newbridge during the Royal Visit of 1970. Unfortunately the station is seldom used today but residents still ensure the building and surrounds are kept in magnificent condition.
Before you rush out onto stage 3 of The Road Less Travelled, PLEASE note the following: All roads have been picked to be 2wd suitable, IN THE RIGHT CONDITIONS. Roads/Forests can be closed due to a variety of reasons. If the road/forest is closed, do not drive on/enter it. This is NOT a power trail; this is a touring trail designed to be done at a more relaxed pace over a few days. No need to rush, there are plenty of accommodation options along the way for all budgets from free camping and caravan parks to B&B, hotels or motels in some towns or nearby. Enjoy your journey!
