Old Esk Railway Station parkrun, Queensland, Australia.

in TravelFeed5 hours ago

There are 3 parkruns in the Somerset Region about an hour and half west of Brisbane, finishing this one made us Somerset Regionairs. I really liked this map which showed the Valley, the Brisbane River and Wivenhoe Dam.

The course is on the BVRT Brisbane Valley Rail Trail, the old disused 160 kilometer long train line that used to service this area. Thankfully we only had to run a flattish 5 kilometers.

Lots of people use the BVRT for cycling, hiking and even horse back riding. You still have to be careful as it crosses a lot of roads and goes through many small country towns.

It started on a concrete paved path but soon after crossing the Redbank creek bridge it turned to a gravel track.

I would love to run it a bit faster next time but they all count. There are 503 parkrun locations in Australia, I have only done 129 of them so far. They seem to adding more places faster than we can get around to visiting them.
