I stopped to take a photo of this interesting wooden bridge in Bangalow for the summer scavenger series but afterwards I reaslised that that cache required a road bridge. After I looked at some history I realised that this was part of a planned rail trail from Casino to Murwillumbah. This line also connects Lismore, Byron bay and Bangalow.


This trail when completed will stretch 132 km:

From Casino to Lismore ..... expansive vistas, and beautiful grazing lands, ample wildlife with xanthorrhoeas, big gums and a unique and spooky 200 metre long curved tunnel at Naughtons Gap.
From Lismore to Bangalow .... be best described as the “Historic Villages” trek. .... shady tree-lined sections with century-old tunnels, wooden trestle viaducts and big steel bridges.
From Bangalow to Byron Bay .... 13 kilometres of mostly downhill fun
Byron Bay to Mullumbimby... Straight through the middle of Byron and along the beachfront
Mullumbimby to Murwillumbah...The Burringbar tunnel at over 500 metres long contains Bats and glow-worms and limestone formations.

Thanks YoungoldFella, I leant something new about the area I grew up in.
