History
The Bellarine Rail Trail follows a former branch line that connected coastal towns and served farming and transport needs in the late 19th and early 20th centuries.
Conservation
Stick to the marked trail and carry out any packaging—many local wineries engage in sustainable viticulture and the region encourages low‑impact tourism to protect soil and native vegetation.
