The following link:
https://youtu.be/4KsWWp3kmUg
takes you to a short (3 Min. 20 Sec.) light-hearted Doodle-based YouTube video promoting the proposed Composite 120km Shiraz to Shore cycle trail and the Richmond Vale Rail Trail (S2S/RVRT) in the Hunter Valley Region of New South Wales (NSW, Australia).
 
There is no need to ‘over think it’ … it’s just a straightforward reminder that we all need to continue to advocate strongly for the S2S/RVRT’s development … or as noted in the video:
 
“Now that the 2025 Federal Election has been finalised ... It's Time ... for Local Councils, Communities, Businesses and Our Elected Representatives to Work Together to ... Progressively secure Funding and Construction of the proposed Composite 120km S2S/RVRT Shared Pathway!”
 
Hopefully, you’ll get at least one smile while watching it!
