The Brisbane Valley Rail Trail is a relatively safe environment, but accidents and emergencies do happen. It’s essential to carry drinking water and a first-aid kit, including snake bite bandages. Cyclists should always carry a basic repair kit including a spare inner tube or plugs for tubeless tyres. There is a reasonably good mobile phone signal on most of the Brisbane Valley Rail Trail, but some areas can be patchy and Telstra provides the best coverage.

If you have a non-emergency problem and need general advice and assistance, contact the  Brisbane Valley Rail Trail Ranger, Peter Kleis on 0467 729 409.

For non-emergency rescue assistance, a volunteer BVRT Trail Rescue Angel Service is available. Call Paul on 0417 342854 or Chevonne Arrowsmith on 0423 477 137.

If you have a real medical, police or fire emergency, contact the normal emergency numbers.
