“Towards the Richmond Vale Rail Trail”
On Wednesday 27th September 2017 at the University of Newcastle, Callaghan Campus, the Tom Farrell Institute for the Environment hosted the launch of their book “Towards the Richmond Vale Rail Trail”. The book was commissioned by the Donaldson Conservation Trust and looks forward to a successful transition of this disused rail line, into a usable corridor for active transport, education, conservation and tourism.
The Richmond Vale Rail Trail will become one of the Hunter Valley’s iconic trails linking Newcastle to the vineyards, and bringing access along the way to a wide variety of ecosystems, from wetlands to Red Gum forests, and an abundance of bird life.
