A visit to the Town Loop trail
1. Starting my adventure
Today, I am going on the Town Loop Trail.
I might walk, ride my bike, push a pram, use a scooter, or use my wheelchair.
2. Where I begin
I will start at the Rutherglen Visitor Information Centre at 57 Main Street, Rutherglen.
There is accessible parking with flat, paved ground.
I can go inside to ask questions or use the bathroom.
3. About the trail
The trail is a loop — that means I will finish where I started.
It is about 4 kilometres long.
It is an easy trail with flat paths and a short hill to reach the Wine Bottle.
I can go as fast or as slow as I like.
4. What I might see
While I'm on the trail, I might see:
- The Wine Bottle water tower
- Art on grain silos
- Shops, trees, and birds
- Local wineries
It's okay if I don't want to stop. It's okay if I do!
5. The path and surface
Parts of the trail are sealed footpath or road shoulders.
Some parts are smooth gravel.
The surface might feel bumpy in some spots. That’s okay.
If I need help, I can ask someone I trust.
6. Toilets and water
There is an accessible toilet at the Rutherglen Visitor Information Centre.
Some wineries and cafés also have toilets I can use when they are open.
There are water taps where I can fill up my bottle.
If I need to stop and rest, I can sit on a bench or under a tree.
7. If it gets busy or noisy
I might see other people walking or riding bikes.
If I feel worried or overwhelmed, I can:
- Take deep breaths
- Put on my headphones
- Find a quiet, shady place to sit
- Ask someone I trust for help
8. Finishing the trail
When I finish the trail, I might feel:
- Tired
- Proud
- Happy
- Calm
- I can be proud of myself for trying something new and enjoying nature!
