Can anybody advise the current situation regarding 4wd access through Ngapotiki Station? Planning a trip down from Jafaland to SI in early March and am hoping to have a good look down the Wairarapa Coast. Any ideas appreciated.
Cheers Bill

Re: Mild Trail
Try Muriwai beach accessed via Wilsons Rd South Head. Pretty tame trail around lake through low bush, mostly sand base. Suggest you pick your day and go on to beach at low tide.

I assume once I have got the shaft out I will be able to...

Does anybody here have the good oil on The Orari Gorge? I'm wanting to know what the story is with access permissions and/or who I need to contact.

Crossing upper Rangitata above Mesopotamia to erewhon?
Hi there guys. I'm planning a SI sojourn in Jan 2016. Anybody got the good oil on crossing the upper Rangitata from Mesopotamia to Erewhon Station? Thinking late Jan 2016. Is it doable, any recommendations? Or is it a bust. I know its one of the trickier rivers.

Anybody know what series is this?
looks like half 60 and half 80. 1993 build so must be 80s and definately on an 80s frame but also has clear 62 series design cues up front. Whatever it is I like it. Shame its not a diesel. http://img03.carview.co.jp/trade/img00/car/363/6991/3636991_2.jpg http://img03.carview.co.jp/trade/img00/car/3...
