Up - Axedale Racecourse to Axedale Town

Trail section between Axedale Racecourse Platform and Axedale Township

Section Highlights:

The Trail has to branch from the rail alignment from the Axedale Racecourse Platform due to impediments caused by the Axedale Golf Course, expense of providing a bridge over the Axedale-Kimbolton Road, the Golf Course again, the requirement for a bridge across the Campaspe River, and private property and quarry on the East side of the river.

The Trail generally follows an old road alignment, closed by the rail line, to Minter Lane where it crosses, followed by Burns Street which it follows parallel to Shadforth Street. It runs parallel to Shadforth Street for a short distance, crosses, and runs parallel to Eddington Street. Having crossed Eddington Street, it runs parallel, crosses the Axedale Kimbolton Road (Mitchell Street), and arrives at the Axedale Park with access to toilets, water, various Axedale businesses and the Axedale Historic Walk.
