    The Jack Bobridge Track is a 27 kilometres shared walking and cycling path in the Barossa Valley in South Australia. It is named after Jack Bobridge, who grew up in the area.The Jack Bobridge Track is not technically a rail trail as the Barossa Valley railway line which was still operating at the time. Parts of the track are constructed adjacent to the railway line, however it is not on the railway formation so has more undulations than a true rail trail would have. One part is away from both the railway and main road and also has sharper corners than would be expected on a rail trail.
