It's cool to stay safe. 😎⛑️

The Rail Trail is for making memories, not becoming one.

Your brain does a lot for you. Returning emails, remembering birthdays and deciding which bakery stop comes next.

Give it the protection it deserves and pop on a helmet before you ride. 🚲✨

And if anyone says helmets aren't cool, we've got photographic evidence to the contrary. 😎

🌿 Well lookie here... a recovery session that doesn't involve stretching.

After a big day on the Rail Trail, swap the bike seat for a tea seat. 🍵

Hidden away in the rainforest, Ecoasis Wellness Sanctuary is now offering traditional tea ceremonies inspired by centuries of Chinese culture and connection.

No rushing. No screens. No checking how many kilometres you've ridden.

Just tea, nature and a chance to slow things right down beneath the gaze of Wollumbin. ✨

From rail trail adventures to rainforest tea ceremonies, there's no shortage of ways to explore the Northern Rivers. Discover more experiences on the Explore pages of our official website. 🔗 https://www.northernriversrailtrail.com.au/

One week to go!

NAUGHTONS GAP RAIL TRAIL WORKING BEE
Register your intended participation at: https://form.jotform.com/261961578638877

If you've taken a walk/ride along the Casino to Bentley Rail Trail in the last 12 months, you will likely have noticed the fabulous environmental works occurring either side of the trail in the Naughtons gap area. Over 5000 trees, shrubs and native grasses have been planted since October 2024 and they are beginning to show their potential to provide habitat and future shade for those using the Rail Trail.
We are keen to expand on this planting; however, it is important to ensure good maintenance of what has already been done before advancing further. We are putting a call out for a session of hand weeding around previously planted trees.
WE WELCOME ALL WHO LOVE THE RAIL TRAIL TO COME SUPPORT THIS COMMUNITY WORKING BEE ACTIVITY
👉When: Saturday 29th August
👉Time: 9am — Noon
👉Where: Naughtons Gap - half way between 'The Hill' and the Naughtons Gap Road bridge.
🌏https://maps.app.goo.gl/pe24pDCJN7E38u2M9?g_st=am
BYO drinking water, gloves, hat, long pants and closed boots.
Tools and morning tea provided. Please share the word and help us bring many hands together for this event.
