DID YO
ROAD CYCLING
The Cheviot Tunnel, just
outside of Yea, is Victoria’s
longest rail trail tunnel.
It was constructed from
an estimated 675,000
handmade bricks using
local clay sourced from
Quinlan's Pit, a quarry in
a paddock just west of
the tunnel. It’s the perfect
spot for that Instagram or
Facebook photo.
