Australia, Brisbane: yeah we started a rail trail in the Brisbane Valley 3 years after CO in 2003...but didn't finish it till 2018. Northern Rivers we recently got stage 1 of our rail trail...NZ sharp people where the frontier mentality forces them to be ahead of the curve. It also creates a bunker mentality however as you can see, they get with the programme. Australia needs to be more resourceful, develop better vision, be faster, stronger.
