Waiau

We left Blenheim after a morning walking in the Withers Hills Farm area. Everything was very very dry and the paths to the top of the hills were closed due to the fire risk.
We then travelled to Waiau a little town in the hills which was accessed by a lovely road passing through beautiful countryside. The road was very steep and windy for most of the journey, which made for slow driving, at times a 15km speed limit.
This is a rest stop on our way to the thermal Spa at Hanmer Springs.Read more
