The Kilkivan to Kingaroy Rail Trail (KKRT, also known as the South Burnett Rail Trail or SBRT) is an 88 kilometre recreation trail from Kilkivan to Kingaroy. The trail follows the old Kingaroy Branch railway and is open to walkers, cyclists and horse riders.

Route

The start of the trail is located in Kilkivan, north-west of Brisbane and directly west of Gympie. The Kilkivan to Murgon section of the trail passes through Goomeri and is located in the upper reaches of the Mary River valley and crosses through open farmland. The trail head at Kilkivan is located opposite the former railway station building near the Bicentennial National Trail. Kilkivan is 216 kilometres from Brisbane (via the Wide Bay and Bruce Highways) or 273 kilometres via the Burnett, D'Aguilar and Bruce Highways. Kilkivan and Goomeri are located on the Wide Bay Highway. The Kingaroy-Kilkivan Rail Trail joins the larger Bicentennial National Trail at Kilkivan.

Use

The section of the trail in the Gympie Regional Council area between Kilkivan and Murgon is for walking, cycling and horse riding only. The surface is not suitable for road/racing bicycles, personal mobility vehicles or horse-drawn vehicles. Motorised vehicles of any type are prohibited to keep trail users safe. The trail surface is bitumen between Kingaroy and Murgon, and compacted gravel (in populated areas) and grass (in rural areas) between Murgon and Kilkivan. Most creeks are crossed via timber bridges or concrete causeways, the most notable of which is the restored curved railway bridge at the small town of Tingoora. After widespread criticism of the lack of a crossing at Wide Bay Creek near Kilkivan, Gympie Regional Council announced that $130,000 had been allocated to address the crossing and make other improvements along the trail by June 30 2019. From Murgon to Kingaroy in the South Burnett Regional Council section, the trail is bitumen sealed and horse riding is not allowed, as the trail crosses the "tick line". Along the KKRT scattered amenities (rest stops, public toilets and shelters) are placed for user convenience. There are multiple free camping options located in the townships however camping along the trail itself is not permitted.

Use of the KKRT is governed by a Code of Conduct issued by the local governing authorities.
