A winding dirt path cuts through a grassy park, bordered by trees under a cloudy sky. Benches are visible in the distance.

The real rail trail only follows a small part of the old Ballarat East to Buninyong train line. But you can keep following the old train path along quiet streets, through Woowookarung Park and the Bushland Reserve, all the way to Mt Clear. If you want, you can make a loop back to town using the Canadian Creek Trail, which makes the whole walk about 13.5 kilometers long.
