Rainbow Road and Molesworth

Post by BrentC »

Are they both open :?:

My brother in law is off on an easy SI jaunt with his brother in law from Ninety Mile Beach (who has 1,500+ acres there :shock: private sand dunes :lol: )

I have never driven rainbow - is the gate unlocked - pay someone $20?

Any advise appreciated.

Thanks in advance.

From memeory its $20 to get the gate umlocked for theRainbow, you just go to the old homestead on the way through and they will unlock it.

You should be able to get more info from the St Arnaud Doc centre if you need to.

Molesworth was open last Friday when I called. I am looking at doing it next Monday. DOC Nelson (03 546-9339) said to call this Friday as sometimes its closed due to fire danger. I s'pose Rainbow will be same/similar.
