Best Bird of the Weekend (Third of January 2020)

10,000 Birds

Foster to Toora

10,000 Birds

Last week I introduced you to a section of the Great Southern Rail Trail in Victoria from Foster to Fish Creek. This week I will introduce you to another section from Foster to Toora. This section of the trail is very flat and only just over ten kilometres long. It is another enjoyable section with a variety of habitat. When you first leave the old Foster railway station you go through dense bush with a swampy area below the trail.
