Funds raised - Construct a loop track connecting Outram township, the Glen, and Historical park
Organised and managed by the combined Taieri Lions & Taieri Rotary clubs as a community project
The funds raised from this event will be used to construct an off road loop track connecting Outram Village, Outram Glen, and the Taieri Historical Society park with its extensive collection of buildings and machinery dating back to the early days of settlement, and its great views of the Taieri plains.
This will allow both adults and kids to walk and cycle from the township to the glen, and/or up to the historic park, without the need to cross SH87.
Your ticket purchase will help us build this great amenity for the district.
Want to support the track build, but not able to do the Sunday tour? - Just purchase a ticket anyway, and treat it as a donation. Thank you.
