It is now safe to roll up the sleeves repairing and replacing some of the 35 km of fences along the rail trail that were damaged in the January 2026 bushfires.

Over the next few weeks, we plan to finish this work along the Koetong section so that the Shelley to Darbyshire Hill section can be re-opened by Easter.

It is essential that you register for this working bee no later than 24 hours beforehand so that we know you're coming, can contact you if things change, and can provide the correct amount of tools.

When: 8:00 am.

Where: Meet at the corner of Huon St. and Church St, Wodonga. We will carpool from here.

What is supplied: All tools and any specific safety equipment needed.

What to bring: BYO drinking water and lunch. For your safety, please wear covered shoes (preferably boots), long pants, long sleeves, and a hat.

Who: You can contact Ant on 0427 926 282.

Donations towards getting the rail trail re-opened are most welcome as Parklands Albury Wodonga is currently self-funding these recovery efforts. You can find the link to our Give Now Naturally Resourceful Appeal here.
