Ride through Victoria's longest rail trail tunnel for echo testing fun.

Dial up the joy with the Yea to Cheviot Tunnel section of the Great Victorian Rail Trail. Check out Yea's historic Gothic-styled Railway Station and Skatepark precinct and then hit the trail into the rural surrounds. Continue gently uphill until you sight the entrance to your ride's goal - Victoria's longest rail trail tunnel. Built in 1889 out of handcrafted brinks, this engineering feat is a must-visit. Pedal through 201m of inky dark to the other side for an echoey thrill before returning downhill to Yea.
