Hi

$10,000 received from Bangalow BBQ and Bluegrass Festival!

Growing support for rail trail

Living Community Festival and Street Parade

$10,000 for the Northern Rivers Rail Trail was raised at the inaugural Bangalow BBQ and Bluegrass Festival held on 2 August.  The money raised will be used for the ongoing costs and expenses running the campaign to get the rail trail up and running.  This was a great event with outstanding music and food and our thanks go to the Festival Organiser Fletcher Potanin for his generosity in supporting the rail trail.  The  following is the quote from the BBQ and Bluegrass website:
Northern Rivers Rail Trail – This year we are also supporting a local infrastructure initiative, the Northern Rivers National Rail Trail project from Murwillumbah through Byron Bay and Bangalow to Casino – a great cultural initiative connecting the community to great music venues via more than 132 kilometres of walking and riding tracks

The NRRT team also ran a sausage sizzle on the day – thanks to our sponsors for their support.

Tickets for next year’s 2 days event are already available on line – go towww.bbqbluegrass.com.au

Northern Rivers Rail Trail support is growing rapidly.

The rail trail will be a real boost to the Northern Rivers. In particular, It would create local jobs and benefit the regional economy. This has been proven on many rail trails around the world, which continue to revitalise and rejuvenate rural areas. 
What a fantastic opportunity to:
1. Save the corridor
2. Use the corridor and
3. Connect our villages
