|| WIMMERA RIVER DISCOVERY TRAIL – TARRANYURK TO JEPARIT || (13km)

This 13km section of the trail sees a change in the riverine environment as the river heads closer to Jeparit and Lake Hindmarsh. The often dense Mallee scrub opens up as you near Jeparit and many of the steep riverbanks become more exposed and increase in height.

The Wimmera River Discovery Trail ends (or starts if wanting to travel south along it) at the Jeparit Riverbank Precinct adjacent to the Jeparit Holiday Park. A picnic area with electric BBQ and toilets makes this a great place to sit, relax and reflect on the journey you have just completed or are about to start!

|| WIMMERA RIVER DISCOVERY TRAIL – ANTWERP TO TARRANYURK || (11.6km)

This 11.6km section of the trail continues north from Antwerp where there is a mid-way camping area. Not far out of Antwerp you, will pass a ruin of a limestone hut and boiler that are remnants of a eucalyptus oil distillery. From the late 1880s there were a number of distilleries along the Wimmera River extracting eucalyptus oil for medical, industrial and perfumery uses.

There are two challenging gullies to cross in this section to add to the adventure. These may require dismounting from bicycles and taking care.
