Construction of trail linking Queenstown and Cromwell underway, Wānaka next

Nicole Mathewson Reporter from Otago News

Work has started on a trail linking Queenstown to Cromwell through the spectacular Kawarau Gorge.

The cycling and walking trail will cross 32km of awe-inspiring and often challenging terrain, from the Nevis Bluff, at Gibbston, to Bannockburn, near Cromwell.

It will tie in with existing trails between Queenstown and Gibbston, and the widely acclaimed Lake Dunstan Trail, from Cromwell to Clyde.

Poll: Do you think NZ should ban social media for youth?

The Team from Neighbourly.co.nz

The Australian Prime Minister has expressed plans to ban social media use for children.

This would make it illegal for under 16-year-olds to have accounts on platforms including TikTok, Instagram, Facebook and X.
Social media platforms would be tasked with ensuring children have no access (under-age children and their parents wouldn’t be penalised for breaching the age limit)
.
