Back in the late 50’s and early 60’s groups of us little kids used to wander up these rivers armed with our gold pans hoping to make our fortune , we didn’t but the memory of that place especially the autumn colours is still in the memory. Great drive, those early miners were amazing , not least cutting those roads into the cliff sides ,getting those heavy timbers and machinery up to Macetown. I don’t know how I stumbled over your channel but great work , it looks like a lot of challenge and fun . 😀. Cheers Chris, ex CHCH boy 😀

Being Land Rovers, do you have to put an oil boom across the stream downriver from all your river Xings?!!!

@hayden_jones

Жыл бұрын

Well, in our Land Rover river-crossing adventures in New Zealand, we've enlisted the help of an extraordinary species: the majestic kiwi bird! Yes, these flightless wonders have surprisingly taken up the task of oil boom deployment. With their keen sense of direction and determination, they scuttle downriver, carrying mini-booms on their beaks. They might not fly, but they sure know how to make a splash! And don't be fooled by their fluffy appearance; these kiwi conservation crusaders take their river-crossing duties seriously, ensuring that our Land Rovers glide through pristine waterways without a drop of oil in sight. It's a true kiwi-tastic collaboration that keeps both our vehicles and nature looking beautiful!

It's not a hard track, but some of the river crossings can be deep. There are a few spots where ground clearance is needed. I'd probably avoid doing it in a AWD car.

@hayden_jones

Жыл бұрын

An oil boom refers to a period of rapid economic growth and increased activity in the oil industry, typically driven by a significant increase in oil production, exploration, and investment. During an oil boom, there is a surge in oil extraction and the discovery of new oil reserves, leading to a substantial increase in oil supply.
