Grant for re-surfacing the Riesling Trail

Gary Sims and Mark Hill inspect a section of the Riesling Trail that has worn down to the base rock. A grant from the Office of Recreation and Sport will fund the resurfacing of the trail, which has gradually eroded over its 20 years by rain, wind and thousands of feet and bicycle tyres.

The ever-popular Riesling Trail will soon receive a $189,000 ‘face lift’, funded by a state government Community Recreation and Sport Facilities Program grant. click here to read the whole article published in the Northern Argus, written by Keira James.

Experiencing the highs of a walk along the Riesling Trail are Chairman of the Riesling Trail, Allan Mayfield, with Apex members Nedd Golding [National President] and Nathan Skinner, and Pepsi, Nathan’s beautiful dog.

Walkers, runners and cyclists will know when they have reached the pinnacle of an outing along the Riesling Trail, thanks to the latest interpretive sign. The marker, is about nine kilometres south of Clare, indicates the Trail’s highest point.
