Boyne Burnett Inland Rail Trail

The Boyne Burnett Inland Rail Trail is a recreational route for walkers, cyclists and horse riders from Taragoola (near Calliope) to Gayndah.

The 26.28-kilometre (16.33 mi) Dawes Range Tunnel section starts at Barrimoon Siding, Kalpowar and finishes at Builyan, Boyne Valley.

[9] The Loop Trail includes a diversion to McConnell Lookout and Park along Renay Robinson Dve, which has a gradient of 12%.

Facilities at the Lookout include public toilets, sheltered picnic tables, a fire pit, rubbish bins, car park, and information.

The Burnett River drains a basin covering 33,210 square kilometres (12,820 sq mi) - 1.9% of the total area of Queensland.

[18] Subsequently concept designs and a draft master plan were drawn up and extensive community engagement was undertaken.
