Weston Kirton: Ruapehu Mayor urges holiday-makers to visit the region over summer

Travellers are being urged not to avoid King Country on their holiday road trips, with the mayor reminding people it's more than just a winter destination. Ruapehu mayor Weston Kirton says the district has plenty of enjoyable summertime activities. He told Tim Dower that he recommends a guided rail cart experience, where visitors travel along 142 kilometres of rail track on modified golf carts. He says it's the perfect way to experience the volcanic plateau. LISTEN ABOVE See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
