WILD MERSEY EXPANDS TO RAILTON
The Wild Mersey Mountain Bike network will more than double in size with the
opening of a further 17 kilometres of trails that connect Latrobe and Railton and extend
in to the Railton hills during May.
This stage will include a pump track - a hard, sealed, undulating surface able to be
ridden with mountain bikes, BMX bikes, scooters and skateboards by all ages and skill
levels - at Goliath Park, Railton.
A family-friendly mountain bike loop uphill from Goliath Park and a cross-country
connection linking Railton to Latrobe will be included in the $4.1m Wild Mersey
development which first opened in Latrobe’s Warrawee Reserve last December.
The extension will open 32 kilometres of trails for riding with planning well underway
to continue the trail network on to Sheffield and up around the Badgers Range.
Mountain bikers are coming from across the region and state to ride Wild Mersey and
as the number of trails grow, so does the interest in the trail network from mainland
and overseas visitors.
The latest trails are being built by Trailscapes with the Mersey River bridge link
designed and installed by Latrobe-based business, BridgePro.
Riders will be able to start and/or finish in either Railton or Latrobe.
The new Railton trail head is located at Ramsay Road, Railton.

A community centre and a tea-house, including al fresco dining
was revealed to the Port Sorell community, following the earlier
release of the residential wing extension that saw the addition of
20 beds in August last year.
The new buildings allow Rubicon Grove to maintain its strong
community connections in Port Sorell, with the community hub to
host various events and meetings while being utilised by local
Rotary and Lions Clubs and the Bridge of Hope Church.
Since its establishment in 2009, popularity for the sea-side facility
has continued to grow, making Rubicon Grove a premier location
for aged care in Port Sorell.
Peter Bell, OneCare CEO said, “Rubicon Grove is already an
integral part of the close-knit Port Sorell community and we are
proud to be able to make a real difference in the lives of our
residents through our community connections.” Pictured: Rubicon Grove resident, Geoffrey, is joined for morning

MERSEY HELIPAD NEARS COMPLETION
The Mersey Community Hospital’s state-of-
the-art helipad will be operational in the next
couple of weeks.
The helipad is now complete and is currently
undergoing testing and commissioning.
MCH Acting General Manager Anthony
Hurst said the new helipad would allow for
faster patient transfers than ever before.
“When a person is seriously ill, or has been
involved in an accident, every second
matters,’ Mr Hurst said.
“The MCH-based helipad will allow us to
transfer patients to the most appropriate
tertiary hospital for their needs - whether
that be in Launceston, Hobart or
Melbourne.”
The helipad features special deck lighting
that supports night vision technology so
helicopters can land safely at any time of the
night or day.
Mr Hurst said a project was also underway to
replace vegetation removed during the
helipad project.
