The original railway surveyors curved the line towards the south to avoid the steep hills at Foster North.  Today, this diverse 18.3km section of the trail offers views of productive pastures, giant gumtrees and flowing creeks.  This varied environment opens itself to an abundance of wildlife at every turn.  Journey past the horse racing town of Stony Creek, rest at the playground at Buffalo and enjoy a breathtaking rural outlook as you approach Fish Creek.
