​As a follow-up to last week’s Post, here is a Doodle-based promotional video highlighting some of the unique features of the Eastern Section of the Proposed Richmond Vale Rail Trail (RVRT) – Lenaghan to Shortland, via Minmi/Fletcher and Tarro/Hexham (Hunter Valley, NSW Australia). Please see our earlier Posts for detailed descriptions about the RVRT's route, approvals and current stage of development.
