Idlib Road to Laura (3 km)

This 3 km stretch of the trail runs alongside the Horrocks Highway and takes you right into Laura. While the official trail doesn’t run through the town itself, that just gives you a chance to wander through Laura’s charming main street before getting back on track!

The trail kicks off at the junction of Idlib Road and Horrocks Highway, just 3 km south of Laura. It's a coarse gravel track, perfect for walkers and mountain bikers. As you approach Laura, follow these easy directions to find your way.

At the trail’s end, turn left, then right onto West Terrace. The road will change from gravel to sealed, and you’ll take the third turn on the right into Whyte Street, then left into Herbert Street, Laura’s main street. Stroll along, and when the dual lane ends, cut through North Laura Parklands, where you’ll find toilets, a playground, and BBQ spots.

From there, continue along Mill Street, take a left on Alexander Street, then a right back onto West Terrace. As the road turns to gravel again, cross Pine Creek, and follow it until the road turns. The Rail Trail starts up again just 50 meters ahead.
