Take a quirky adventure from Myrtleford to Eurobin on the iconic Murray to Mountains.
The Murray to Mountains Rail Trail is one trail with many adventures. Ovens Valley is a choose-your-own-adventure kind of place. While the 37km return ride from Myrtleford to Eurobin is a certified classic, consider this just one chapter – this region rewards the curious and the spontaneous.
FOR QUIRKY ADVENTURERS
Surrounded by mountains and flowing rivers, Myrtleford is stacked with quirky gems and intriguing finds. From hide and seek mosaic trails to cafes that transport you to another world, this one's for the seekers.
Start your adventure in the heart of town and follow the orange signs out to nature, art and tasty treats.
SNACK TIME
Roll past mountain and river views to your first pit stop - Pepo Farms . This moreish farmgate offers tastings of their signature pumpkin seeds and nuts, coated in everything from chocolate to chilli. Feeling bold? Try their oil tasting too, you're guaranteed to find an unexpected favourite flavour.
SUNFLOWER POWER
Visiting in January, February or March? Keep your camera ready, Pepo Farms has a sea of yellow sunflowers in the field just across the road. This highlight is sure to bring the joy.
ENGAGE AND REFLECT
After filling up your backpack with snacks continue pedalling to Eurobin for a dose of contemporary art.
True Horizons by Barkindji artist Kent Morris transforms Eurobin Station into a space of deep reflection. This striking installation acts as a conceptual compass, inviting you to pause your journey and engage with a landscape redefined through a First Nations lens. A multisensory audio tour is available via QR code to help deepen your understanding.
FEAST AMONG THE LANTERNS
Turn your wheel around and head back to Myrtleford for a scrumptious feast. Cafe Fez is not your average trail-side stop; think rich Moroccan mint teas, Middle Eastern-inspired grazing, and a vibe that feels more Marrakesh than regional Victoria.
Top it off next door by searching for treasure at the Red Ramia bazaar. It’s a sprawling trove of global finds, perfect for a quick hunt for something unique.
LOCAL TREATS AND GEMS
Round out the adventure by treating yourself at Alpine Blueberries. In the warmer months, their blueberry ice cream is a local legend for a reason; it’s the ultimate cool-down for a day spent in the saddle.
Keep your eyes peeled as you roll through town for more quirky gems – there are guerilla-style mosaic artworks dotted all around. Pick up a map from the Visitor Info Centre and pedal the riverside Myrtleford Mosaic Trail to discover hidden artworks.

Legs still feeling fresh at Eurobin? Keep the momentum going and continue your scenic wind to Porepunkah's flower filled Colour Bridge and on to the bustling alpine hub of Bright .
This whole area is an authentic slice of the Ovens Valley. In the High Country, the best discoveries often happen when you decide to take the long way home.
