The Mary Valley Rail Trail (Stage 1) was officially opened on 28 July 2019. It is fully constructed and serviced with excellent interpretative signage. (The 2018 comment by Dave is now irrelevant.) Gympie Council have constructed a concrete causeway over Western Creek, and the compacted fine gravel surface is ideal w for walking, horse riding as well as biking. It is a 5km trail from Imbil to the former rail terminus at Brooloo. Detailed local history, rail history and description of other natural features including the Bellbird colony are provided on the signage at Brooloo, Breakneck Road crossing, Western Creek Road crossing and at the Imbil end of the trail at Selwyn Street. Imbil has a range of ideal accommodation (camping, caravanning, hotel, motel, quality cabin and B&B accommodation available as well as a range of eateries (cafes, coffee shop, Railway Hotel, restaurant at Bowls Club. The Trail passes through a farming area and beside State Forest but more importantly right over the site of the first gold discovery at Boyds Gully which commenced the rush in 1870 to the Imbil Diggings. There are two box culverts under the rail trail at Browns Gully and the larger one that allows the discharge of Breakneck Creek under the rail trail. Though only 5km, it is an excellent trail to ride and is an adjunct activity for the many campers and other visitors to Imbil. Consideration is currently being given to extending the trail northwards from Imbil which would take in Melawondi Tunnel, Melawondi (sawmilling location), to Kandanga.
