A reschedule of the ride earlier in the season cancelled due to rain.
Westgarthtown is a heritage precinct preserving remnants of the ol
d German dairy farming settlement that was originally known as Neu Mecklenb
urg. The name was changed in honour of the immigrants' sponsor, William Wes
tgarth. We'll begin our ride from Rushall Railway Station and head up Merri
Creek Trail and then along Metropolitan Ring Road Trail. This takes us to
lunch at the Italian cheese factory, That's Amore in Thomastown (22km). Fro
m there we ride on to explore the nearby Westgarthtown historical sites, cy
cling a loop of about 6km.
If you want to call it a day after th
at you can opt for a train from nearby Thomastown Station. For further ridi
ng there's the option of riding Darebin Creek Trail to Fairfield (an extra
20km). If you've come by car Rushall Station is just a short ride away from
there. Thomastown is on Mernda Line and will also take you back to Rushall
if that's where you want to finish up.
To get to rushall by tra
in there's a 9:48 am on Mernda Line leaving Flinders Street Station (Platfo
rm 1) that arrives Rushall, 10:10 am.
