An introduction and discussion of the phenomenon of abandoned railway lines being adapted into multi-use linear parks – railtrails – and an assessment of these as sites of significance. Focusing on a popular trail in Victoria, the Bass Coast Rail Trail, this project’s unique position at the intersection of industrial heritage and adaptive reuse will be evaluated.
