Kiwi Chronicles, Episode 5: The New Gold Rush

In this episode of the Kiwi Chronicles, Russ Roca and Laura Crawford learn the story behind the trail that started it all -- the Central Otago Rail Trail. Its success in revitalizing a dying region in New Zealand was what inspired New Zealand's government to push for a cycle trail network.
