Southern Lens - The Ultimate Bike Trail

There's regular bike trails - and then there's the new Lake Dunstan Trail being built between Clyde and Cromwell.

The Southern Lens team spends time this week with the engineers literally blasting and bridging their way through the Cromwell Gorge. We preview some of the stunning - and slightly scary - cantilevered trail sections that hang over the lake as well as trying out the new bridges - all in celebration of a growing, sustainable class of tourism where everyone is a winner.
