Wedderburn • Extend existing trail from Ted’s Garden: Starting from Ted’s garden walk
westward over the highway, through the RSL to Lonely Grave, continue to 52
Wilson St., (Oldest weatherboard home in Wedderburn), then head North
toward the Old Battery and continue to Hard Hill. The walking track could then
follow the dirt road out the back of Hard Hill to Nine Mile road where the track
would go East past Alan Thiele’s residence and continue to the Silos where the
track would follow the Old Railway line. The line has had its tracks removed and
is already a basic walking track. Cross over Godfrey Street and continue along
the railway line until you arrive at the St Arnaud Road. Cross road and continue
to follow the railway line behind the Police Station residence, go over the old
railway bridge and continue around, crossing the highway at Korong Creek. You
will have arrived at the Engine Rally site. Follow the Nardoo Creek all the way to
Jacka Park or back to Ted’s garden. You could then choose to walk to the
Caravan Park reservoir and then walk to Tantalla St. Crossover Tantalla and
link up with Bernarra St, continue the track to the Grave site and view the old
diggings heading North.
• Put together a town walk identifying attractions and buildings of interest. Such
identified areas should have plaques or information erected to inform visitors of
the cultural and heritage significance of the particular attraction or building.
