The Trail meanders through farmland, coastal bushland, historic coal mining reserves and rugged coastline. The Bass Coast Rail Trail links to the George Bass Coastal Walk at Kilcunda, so it is possible to walk from the Punch Bowl in San Remo all the way to the centre of Wonthaggi. Where does it start and end? The Trail starts at the old Wonthaggi Railway Station in Murray Street or at the Woolamai Recreation Reserve. The trail is available for walkers, cyclists and horse riders from Woolamai to Wonthaggi. George Bass Coastal Walk The popular George Bass Coastal Walk is a cliff top walk that stretches from the outskirts of San Remo at Punchbowl Road, to the Bass Highway (just opposite the hall at Peppermint Road) in Kilcunda. The walk is approximately seven kilometres long and takes an average of 2 hours to walk one way. The walk offers spectacular views of the coastline and follows the route of the explorer George Bass’ epic voyage of discovery along the southern edge of the Anderson Peninsula, over 200 years ago A Special Thank you to: Bass Coast Shire Council.
