waitotara valley road trip

We went looking for a wee church in Ngamatapouri along the Waitotara Valley Road,
the longest no-exit road in New Zealand. 
We never found the church, apparently turning around before we got there, 
but there was a lot to see. The scenery was very unique
 along the river--including wandering stock.






Pampas grass was everywhere! It's invasive here, but sure was pretty.

bridges

Even after almost 10 years, I find it quaint that most of the bridges that are in rural areas are still one lane--even those that are on main thoroughfares.
The bridge above is the Kawarau Suspension Bridge where bungy jumping began.


The Ophir Bridge

Below is the Taramakau road/rail combination Bridge

suspension bridge

I'm reminded that I'm not in Kansas any more when I see bridges like this!
