Add to your Alexandra getaway with a ride though the scenic countryside on the Great Victorian Rail Trail. Head out from Alexandra's historic streets and past the Alexandra Timber Tramway and Museum - stop in on a Sunday to browse the exhibits. Continue through rural serenity as you tackle the uphill section to Eglinton Cutting for views of the Cathedral Ranges. Roll down to the remains of Cathkin Station and jump in your pre-arranged shuttle or head back to Alexandra for an extra challenge. Celebrate your achievement with lunch at Grant St Grocer or a cold beer at dog friendly On Point Brewery.
