Pedal into a rainforest morning as a cool, electric hum pushes you along the old rail formation toward a 524‑metre tunnel that opens into Burringbar village. Ferns lean over the trail, and the distant silhouette of Mount Wollumbin (Mount Warning) pins the skyline — the mountain seems to watch the valley, daring you to slow down and look.

Pedal into a rainforest morning as a cool, electric hum pushes you along the old rail formation toward a 524‑metre tunnel that opens into Burringbar village. Ferns lean over the trail, and the distant silhouette of Mount Wollumbin (Mount Warning) pins the skyline — the mountain seems to watch the valley, daring you to slow down and look.
This ride traces country of the Bundjalung people and follows the rail corridor that once moved timber and tropical fruit across the Tweed Valley. Geologically, the hinterland sits on the eroded slopes of an ancient shield volcano; soils here feed banana and exotic fruit farms visible between stands of rainforest. At Husk Farm Distillery you’ll see modern, sustainable distilling methods and learn how local sugarcane and fruit are turned into spirits, then sit down to a seasonal three‑course lunch with views toward Wollumbin.
Expect roughly 20–25 km of mostly flat rail‑trail with short rolling sections; total elevation gain is modest (under 300 m), and the electric assist makes this suitable for novice riders. Terrain is compacted gravel and packed dirt with occasional wet patches after rain; a 524 m tunnel is unlit, so a bike light is useful.
Practical notes: start early to avoid midday heat, carry at least 1–2 litres of water, and bring a light rain shell in shoulder seasons. The tour balances gentle riding, farm visits, and a guided distillery tasting — it’s part outdoors, part food and drink, all set against the volcanic plains and rainforest edges of the Tweed Valley.

This stretch of the Tweed Valley is Bundjalung country and later became a productive agricultural belt after the rail line opened, moving timber and tropical fruit to market.
Operators emphasize low‑impact visits; stick to trails, take litter with you, and support local producers who use sustainable farming and distilling practices.
