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.
