Starting with the history of the former Otago Central Railway, the DVD follows its transformation from abandoned rail corridor into a 150km cycling and walking trail that today is considered one of the most popular tourist attractions in the South Island.

An intuitive menu allows you to hop on and off the trail in stages as you take a guided tour along the trail from Middlemarch to Clyde.

Traverse magnificent viaducts and bridges and observe the intricate masonry work in the culverts and tunnels. Travel through schist rock outcrops and experience the spectacular scenery of the gorges, mountains and wide open spaces not seen from the road.

Take a step back in time and relive the history with the help of friendly locals, visiting historic landmarks, goldfields and pioneer settlements. Meet others who are getting close to nature and enjoying this timeless land.

Have this as the ultimate guide or take it away as a memento of your trip.
