Most of the roads that we travelled on the Forgotten World Highway
and Whanganui River Road were paved sealed but there were a few places that
needed to be cleared from the slides occasionally.
An unexpected road block stopped us for about a half an hour while we
watched a helicopter helping with some logging.
They finally let us pass and there was a bit of dodging to do :)
Wild peahens and peacocks were an awesome sight to see in flight, but we
weren't in a position to capture them in the air.

That is a wild looking road. Beautiful peacock photos.
What a different side of New Zealand than I have seen before. Cool photos, but I never would have guessed they were in this country had you not identified them.
Dear Betty,
thanks most sincerely for the lovely comment you left on ~ My little old world ~, I appreciate it so much !
What stunning shots you've shared in both the blogs you have, thank you for this too !
May your new week be filled with gladness

Another fine collection of photos. It certainly looks like an isolated part of the country.
Looks like a very adventurous drive!
Talk about "rural"...that road looks a tad rough in spots, although seeing those peacocks was well worth it, I think!...:)JP
It looks as if you had quite the adventure! I'm impressed that you had the presence of mind to take photos. :-)
The peacocks are real beauties! Looks like quite the adventure travelling those roads!
