The Gilgai Trail - Coolamon to Ganmain Cycle and Walk

04/01/2026

Track Report Summer (Jan) 2026.
Coolamon Shire Council has been busy slashing the areas overgrown with grasses and the track is clear.
There's a big branch down about 4km from Ganmain, and track volunteers are waiting for a cool day to clear it. The branch is across the track but getting around it is easy.
Remember to take plenty of drinking water with you. Also keep in mind that this time of year brings the wriggle-sticks out and although I have not seen any, I'm sure that they are there!
Early morning and late afternoon are the best times to beat the heat. We just completed a night-ride which was fun, too.
See you on the track!

Track update Summer 2025/6
Track volunteers last weekend cleared fallen branches between Ganmain and Brushwood. One heavy branch remains and is awaiting a chainsaw. Meanwhile it is possible to go around without any trouble.
Council has recently sprayed and mown the verge of the track.
As always, keep an eye out for wriggle-sticks this time of year. Morning is the best time to take the track at this time of year
Enjoy your ride!

A great review from a new user of the Gilgai!
Thank you Lily sharing your experience.

The Gilgai Trail - what a terrific trail!
As we only have one vehicle and are building our fitness we rode from Coolamon to the Brushwood Silos and return, working towards being able to do the whole ride to Ganmain and back by autumn.
Fantastic trail, not at all what I expected, actually above and beyond.
So much fun and very scenic.
We had a swim at the gorgeous Coolamon Pool, enjoyed lunch out the back at the pub (great food, very hospitable people) and some takeaway bevvies from Foodworks for afters.
A great asset, good job!
