About the Historical walk

Brinkworth was a major railway junction built in 1892 at Magpie Creek, described as “the Great Junction of the Blyth, Snowtown and Gladstone Railways”.

The railway’s history can be easily appreciated by reading the informative signs along the Peppertree Trail, a 2.4km return walk along the old track, from the original stockyards to the junction where the lines diverged to Blyth or Snowtown.

Starting at the general store, the 4.2km one and half hour walk looks at the town’s history. A map of the walk is available from the general store or Brinkworth Muesum.
