more of our adventure

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.

  2. 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.

  6. Talk about "rural"...that road looks a tad rough in spots, although seeing those peacocks was well worth it, I think!...:)JP
