Alexandra and The Central Otago Rail Trail

We are now in the middle of our 2 week stint in Alexandra and Roger has a day off work after a Saturday and a night on call. So we took a walk along part of the Central Otago Rail Trail which passes through Alexandra. Later in the year when the weather is warmer in Spring we hope to cycle the full 150Km length, but today we just passed through a small part. The scenery is quite stark as the area is a semi arid desert with rocky terrain. Good for sheep but not much else!

Earlier in the week I took a walk on a beautiful clear cold day, along the Clutha River which runs through Alexandra.
