Wodonga Men’s Shed Enhances Rail Trail with New Boardwalk

The recent upgrades along the High Country Rail Trail near Killara promise uninterrupted access even during moderate flooding of the Kiewa River! On March 13, members of the Bonegilla Rail Trail Advisory Group, along with supporters from Parklands Albury Wodonga, gathered for a celebratory walk along the improved sections.

The enhancements, which involved the replacement of decking on the Kiewa River footbridge and the installation of a new boardwalk at Middle Creek, were made possible with the skilled expertise of the members at Wodonga Men’s Shed. Their meticulous welding of the boardwalk frames ensures the safety and enjoyment of trail users, particularly during wetter conditions when river flooding could obstruct access or render the trail impassable

This project received funding from the Australian Government’s Black Summer Bushfire Recovery program, enabling its successful completion and enhancing community connectivity and resilience.
