Major Mitchell Trail
Ray Lindner and a couple of friends tracked down some history and found a great reason to go riding.
I’d seen many signs throughout Victoria directing tourists to the Major Mitchell Trail, but I remained ignorant of the significance of the route. I did know of the Major Mitchell cockatoo, and I reckoned there must’ve been flocks of them along the roads to which the signs were pointing.
In 2011, ride companion Andrew Percy happened upon an exhibition in Castlemaine, Victoria, by local artist Eliza Tree.
