About the Ballarat-Skipton Rail Trail
The Ballarat-Skipton Rail Trail in western Victoria, Australia, runs 53 kilometres along the old Skipton railway line from western Ballarat, southwest through Haddon, Smythesdale and Pittong to Skipton. The trail was in poor condition for many years before being upgraded and resurfaced in 2008, at a cost of $700,000, funded in roughly equal measure by local, state and federal government. The new surface is "compacted granitic sand". The total length of the trail is 53 km including an 8 km section from Ballarat railway station to the trailhead.

About this route in 3D
Open the designer and the real Ballarat-Skipton Rail Trail becomes a solid topographic model: the route rides on top of true elevation terrain, surrounding peaks and valleys included, with automatic place labels for the towns and landmarks along the way.
Everything is editable. Swap in your own dates, rename the labels, change the base shape, or replace the route entirely with the trip YOU took. The model you see is the model you get, as a watertight file ready for any 3D printer, or as a finished print made by us.
How it works
- Open the Ballarat-Skipton Rail Trail in our 3D designer. Real terrain, real elevation, in your browser.
- Make it yours: use your own route, dates, labels, size and shape.
- Download the printable STL file, or order a finished 3D print. We ship to 50 countries, with optional wood frame and LED base.
Common questions
- Is this the real terrain of the Ballarat-Skipton Rail Trail?
- Yes. The 3D model is built from real elevation data, so every climb, ridge and valley along the Ballarat-Skipton Rail Trail appears at true relative height.
- Can I use my own route instead?
- Yes. The designer accepts your Google Timeline export, geo-tagged photos, or a route you draw by hand. The Ballarat-Skipton Rail Trail is just the starting point.
- How do I get the finished model?
- Two ways: download a printable STL or GLB file for your own 3D printer, or order a finished print and we make it and ship it. We deliver to 50 countries, with optional wood frame and LED base.
- Can I download the Ballarat-Skipton Rail Trail as an STL file for my own 3D printer?
- Yes. The printable STL (or GLB) file of the Ballarat-Skipton Rail Trail costs $10, one token, and is watertight and ready to slice. You can also change the size, base shape and labels before you export it.
