Bicentennial National Trail

Description

The Bicentennial National Trail (BNT) not only passes through the Lockyer Valley, the trails' origins began here. The idea originated at the then Gatton Agricultural College in 1972. It was during the first Australian All Breeds Horseman's Congress, organised by the late bush legend RM Williams, that the idea to link old stock routes and coach roads was conceived. Now part of Australia's living history, the trail commemorates Australia's Bicentenary and stretches 5330km along Australia's east coast. The trail is open to hikers, horse riders, mountain bikers.

The Trail is presented in 12 Sections, covering sections of 400 to 500 kilometres each. For detailed information we recommend obtaining a Section Trail Description from www.nationaltrail.com.au.

The Lockyer Valley stretch of the trail is included in Section 6 which focuses on the portion between Blackbutt and Killarney, showcasing stunning views and a diverse range of wildlife and plants. Parts of this section are not suitable for cycling.
