Description
Leaving Maffra, the trail rejoins Johnson Street at the Macalister River bridge. The trail then passes through a delightful wetland and forest before heading to Tinamba via a new excellent surface. This part of the trail has a number of completed creek crossings where waterbirds can often be seen in billabongs nearby.
Tinamba has a bed & breakfast (Happy Days) and also a well provisioned general store with great coffee. The award winning Tinamba Hotel offers quality meals as well as fine dining with good local wines. Nearby the Glenmaggie Winery can be reached by a short “off trail” detour.
