Riesling Trail

The Riesling Trail is a 27 kilometre walking and cycling track located in the Clare Valley, South Australia.cite web | title = Clare Valley Riesling Trail | work = Trail Description | publisher = Railtrails Australia, Inc | date = | url = http://www.railtrails.org.au/states/trails.php3?action=trail&trail=41 | format = Web | doi = | accessdate = 2007-06-03 ] It runs between Auburn and Clare, passing through several towns and villages along the way, including Leasingham, Watervale, Penwortham and Sevenhill. Originally part of the railway branch line which ran between Riverton in the south to Spalding in the north, it was abandoned after the 1983 Ash Wednesday bushfires which burnt through the valley and damaged a lot of the trackwork. It was decided that the old railway lines would be removed and in the late 1990s, this part of the route was converted into its present use as a walking and cycle trail. Many of the original rails were sent to Queensland, where they were laid down as tracks used for transporting sugar trains in the north of that state.
