REMEMBER: Save off line the caches along the rail trail as phone coverage is very weak or non-existant in some section.
Welcome to the Northern Rivers Rail Trail that starts in Murwillumbah and in time will finish at Casino. This is the second section of the rail trail to be completed and meanders from Casino to Bentley. Casino is a town of about 10,000 while Benltey is a locality that has a school and a hall. This section is in the Richmond River Council area. There are no villages on this section of the rail trail but there are some great rest areas. We encourage you to take time to stop and read the signs about the history, culture and nature that you are passing through and very importantly take in the vistas of the valleys as well as the flora and fauna. ENJOY!
The posted co-ordinates bring youto the car park at Old Casino Railway Station as well as the beginning of the rail trail. Some days the museum located at the old railway station is open but no set days.
The information needed for the final WP can be found by making your way towards the old station but before you get to the gate you will see an information board to your left.
