Drove from Tekapo to Kurow today. No particular reason for stopping here apart from staying at a motorcamp to do laundry and have a good shower.

A short drive from Kurow to Oamaru this morning. Set up at the local A&P showgrounds. Lovely flat grassed area requiring very little leveling.

Visited Steampunk HQ in Oamaru. Some would probably class it as a load of junk. I really enjoyed it, some amazing creations including some ex Transpower assets? The Portal was in effect a roomLeggi altro

Stopped to have a look at the Moeraki Boulders. Had a bite to eat and the weather turned foul. A bit of solid rain and cold southerly. Got a few photos of the Boulders and headed for Dunedin.

Drive from Oamaru to Dunedin with a brief stop at Moeraki boulders. Some very steep long hills heading into Dunedin really put the Triton to the test. Overcast and cool here.

Somewhere between Dunedin and Omakau we stopped for lunch on what must have been the only flat piece of land on the whole trip. 1250metres above sea level in the middle of nowhere (so it seemed).

Longer drive today from Dunedin to Omakau. Some very long steep hills on this piece of road. The road is in good condition and there was very little traffic.
Not the best selection of places to stay.Leggi altro
