Starting from Centaur Road, Buckingham, the Collie-Darkan Rail Trail offers a serene day ride, tracing a segment of the historic Bowelling to Narrogin Railway east of Collie to Darkan. Meandering through a picturesque landscape of forests and farmland, the trail showcases well-preserved wooden rail bridges and two charming railway stations. Immersed in heritage and framed by verdant rolling hills, it's an enriching journey with the option for further exploration. Thanks to its former railway status, the trail boasts a gentle terrain, enhanced by renovated rail bridges spanning creeks and rivers alongside lush farmlands and forests adorned with vibrant spring wildflowers. This multi-use trail accommodates horse riders, cyclists, and walkers, with interpretative signage offering insights into the railway's storied past. Visitors are advised to leash their dogs due to baiting activities in the Cowcher to Bowelling area. Let us begin by acknowledging the Traditional Custodians of the land on which we travel today, and pay our respects to their Elders past and present.
