Cycling the High Country Rail Trail - Wodonga, Tallangatta, Shelley

Great video, nice and compact. Great way of learning bikepacking around Victoria. Thanks.

Back in the 2000's I lived in wodonga and I rode many of these sections of railtrail. The bridge over the lake was just a dream back then and so the trail had to go around on the road on a very narrow and fast curve, extra dangerous. We did the Tallangatta sections when they were opened in a big festival atmosphere, and the Corryong Shelley, Tallangatta as a preview because it wasn't open back then and the group was just gaining support for the finances to do it up to standards. Some of those old timber trestles were in really bad shape and there was a farmer upstream of Old Tallangatta who looked like a possible sabotager of any railtrail proposal and that section wasn't on the tour. Great to see it mostly open, these are a brilliant way to travel and I hope that they can get ebike charging stations set up along the way.

Your pronunciation of Tallangatta is completely wrong. It is not pronounced as it spells!

[@nomadkath]

wait, how is it pronounced then?? 😳

I know it might upset you because you’re a local if she doesn’t pronounce the word correctly but really it’s not that important, we all know what she’s saying.
