    May 23–26, 2024 in New Zealand ⋅ ☀️ 2 °C

    Wake up saw us enshrouded in mist and we had a slight frost. It was beautiful and before too long the sun shone through. Again with the superlatives! Just breath taking! We decided to break out the BBQ and cook brunch outside, but it was a bit too nippy so we chickened out and ate inside.
    I packed up afternoon tea and we decided to drive out to Lake Onslow, a little closer to our camp than yesterday's excursion. We wound our way high up into the hills and couldn't get enough of the scenery. Predictably, stunning! However the higher we got the more greasy the road became and in spite of our 4wd the ute was slipping a bit. We made the decision to call it quits, and come home. We'll wait for summer to see Lake Onslow!! I've included pics of our tyres and wheel arch to show you the dirt!
    We will move on tomorrow towards Cromwell or Arrowtown.
