You push off from the Moo Moo roadhouse and the first kilometers click by with nothing but the rail-bed and the soft hiss of electric assistance beneath you. The rail trail unfurls through low cane fields, past crumbling bridges and into long stands of pine before the route narrows into rainforest canopy. Tunnel mouths appear like dark invitations — one stretches 524m and holds a hush of glowworms and microbats.

You push off from the Moo Moo roadhouse and the first kilometers click by with nothing but the rail-bed and the soft hiss of electric assistance beneath you. The rail trail unfurls through low cane fields, past crumbling bridges and into long stands of pine before the route narrows into rainforest canopy. Tunnel mouths appear like dark invitations — one stretches 524m and holds a hush of glowworms and microbats.
This ride follows the Northern Rivers Rail Trail, an adaptive reuse of the region’s old railway that once linked sugar and timber towns across the Tweed hinterland. Geologically, the valley drains from the volcanic slopes of Mount Wollumbin (Mount Warning), its soils feeding rich cane flats and pockets of subtropical rainforest rich in epiphytes and birdlife. The area sits on Bundjalung country; local communities and creative hubs such as the M Arts precinct in Murwillumbah reflect a strong regional arts and farm-to-plate culture.
Practically, the tour is self-guided, app-navigated and built around e-bikes that shoulder the climbs so you can focus on route choices — the flat rail corridor, a pine-canopied sweep past Burringbar, or the optional climb through rainforest to Husk Farm Distillery. Bring a charged phone, turn on bike lights for tunnels, and plan fuel stops in Burringbar or Murwillumbah. Allow 5–6 hours for a relaxed pace with time for tasting at Husk and a gallery stop. Hydrate, carry layers for changing coastal rain, and respect wildlife in tunnels and waterways.
