As local discussions about the proposed 'Shiraz to Shore' Hunter Cycle Trail intensify, we felt that it would be a good time to start to talk about possible Strategic Zones (or Themes) across the full (100+ km) length of the trail. Here are some initial suggestions.
 
The first two images contain the same material, overlaid over different RVRT graphics (a stylized trail image; and 20 Points of Interest along the RVRT).
 
Please see previous Blog-Posts and Media Releases on our Website for further details about current RVRT approvals and Likely Points of Interest.
