    Option to cycle back form Mooball to Crabbes Creek, a lovely section of the Northern Rivers Rail Trail and the first tunnel on the route at Mills Road. Crabbes Creek is also home to a very cute general store which you can visit with a short diversion off the Trail. Take the diversion to the store or just cruise on by through the countryside on your way to Burringbar.

    The nicest village stop on your E bike ride on the Northern Rivers Rail Trail. Go check out The Barn (great coffee and food), Brooklyn (wine tasting room) and Heaths Antiquities, a shop with so much old stuff you won’t believe it. On leaving Burringbar ride though The Pines, one of my favourite sections of the trail, a huge canopy of Pine trees

    Between Burringbar and Stokers is, for many, the highlight of the Northern Rivers Rail Trail, the Burringbar Tunnel. at 524m long is the longest tunnel on the Northern Rivers Rail Trail and an adventure to E Bike through it. Remember to turn on your bikes lights and look out for glowworms and micro bats! After the Tunnel arrive in Stokers Siding, a sleepy hinterland village with cute old station post office shop, pottery and Art Gallery.
