Great Central Railway Murals Under Bridge

Highlight (Segment) • Monument

Along this section there are different wild flowers, with one section seems to be a wet land with bull rushes with the birds feeding. Worth a visit, could get a bit boggy when wet but there seems to be more gravel these days.
