Weather we wanted the weather to be good or not, the weather did decide to give us some weather we would rather have not weathered...

Hi its such a shame the weather packed up at Monkey Island. Last time we were at Colac Bay I took the boat out to Centre Island ( about 8km) my dive buddies got crayfish while I caught the Bluecod. We also got a feed of Paua and a few mussels. Heaven! but as always the weather makes it.

Remember camping at Riverton summer and sitting through hail

Hey Guys so this area is generally still pretty cool around Nov and dec the ocean can take awhile to warm up... but I can't give you an accurate answer cause it was my first time in these parts. How long are you going to be traveling for?

Thanks for another great video. However all you seem to do is go from 1 free beach camp to another. There is so much more to see in that part of the country. It would be great if you were to show some of the scenery and tourist spot Keep up the good work.

Thanks for that feedback...not sure if you watched the whole video but we did check out a gold mining area on the Te Araroa trail as well as the te waewae lagoon... there really isn't much more out this coastal road its pretty isolated... interms of big tourist activities we aren’t budgeting for that on this trip we have no income until we stop travelling and start working so we are definitely promoting the free stuff to do, and life in a caravan full time as a family.

Would have loved to have shown a bit more scenery as well but was so windy and wet so I couldn't get the drone up which I was disappointed about... The next few videos have some great new zealand scenery lake Monowai, manapouri and fiordland... we had some nice weather as well which made it awesome 👌

Sorry didn't mean to dis your caravan. It's amazing to be able to travel with your family this way. Thanks for sharing. Been in AUs for 40 years. Your vids make me want to return and explore all my memories of the south Island. So jealous

Is Tuatapere still claiming to be the sausage capital of NZ? I recall seeing the sign, but not even finding a butchers shop. Great video again, even if the weather wasn't the best for your journey through the area. Riley is doing great with the Go Pro

Oh Sorry Missed this comment Garth, Yep the claim to fame is the old Sausage, but we only saw them advirtised at the local Pub so not sure what the current situation is. Yea I think we might have a list of places to return to once we've lapped the South Island, places that were incredible and places that we didn't get the right weather for. Riley is star on the Go Pro.
