We need all the friends

Friends of the Rail Trail Group
A group with a keen interest in the project is the Friends of the Rail Trail Group. This group is actively seeking more members.
The Friends of the Port Fairy – Warrnambool Rail Trail is a hands on community organisation.

How can you help?
Your contribution and interest are vital to the Rail Trail.

You may assist the committee in maintaining the trail and improving the ambiance of the area by regularly assisting on the work parties, which are held along the trail each Tuesday morning

What’s in it for you?
Besides the satisfaction of assisting this great community project and seeing it come to fruition, you will enjoy the companionship of fellow walkers, cyclists, and friends.

The Friends of the Port Fairy – Warrnambool Rail Trail is a non-profit community organisation with the following aims:

  • To involve the general community and community groups in the development and maintenance of the Rail Trail.
  • To enhance the landscape and conservation values of the Rail Trail.
  • To promote the use of the Rail Trail.
  • To communicate with the Rail Trail Committee the group’s achievements throughout the year and programs for the following year.
  • To identify areas where the maintenance of the trail and infrastructure is required.

A work schedule is sent to all members of the Friends group.

Our working bees are on a Tuesday morning and generally run from 8 AM to 12 Noon with a break for morning tea.

The working bees will include such activities as:
Re-vegetation, weed eradication, mulching of plantings along the trail, protection of remnant vegetation, trail maintenance, infrastructure maintenance, and the building of seats, tables, shelters, and signage for use along the trail.

Information about membership can be obtained by emailing: rtcomwp@gmail.com
