Maryborough - Dunolly-Havelock Gold Rush Cycling Trail
A mostly gentle 54km ride through undulating forest and farmland. Dunolly is an old gold mining town surrounded by stunning box and iron bark forest. This town was once referred to as the 'Golden Triangle' because there were more nuggets found in the district than any other in Australia and was home to the largest gold nugget ever found in the world - 'the Welcome Stranger'.
