Old Archive NZ trip down the West Coast to Kahurangi Point

Skip to 2:05, Gotta love the old trucks and especially carting the Acytelene Bottles on the front of the Jeep! At 5:25 is that an early Simex Triple Block on the bonnet?

thats awesome! "there's a rock in the way... wheres the dynamite?" give that one a go these days and see what the greenies say lol

Thats a great find!!!!

The rock formations haven't changed, and its interesting how some of them developed (with a bang )

Its an awesome trip if you get the opportunuity.

Do not under estimate the Big river crossing, its soft and deep.

The DOC hut (house) at the light house is bloody good too.

One of the best summer trips out there
