The Molesworth

Don’t know the name of these flowers (probably Daisy, or Rose, or Violet...), I thought the paddocks had gone mouldy. Only open for 2 months in summer, 120km through NZ’s largest station (Molesworth Station). Supposedly a 4wd road, it’s really just a long, dusty, corrugated, dusty, winding, dusty road that you’re only allowed to do 50km/h on. Any car could get through this road with relative ease.



Not allowed to stop here either, this is leaving the Awatere Valley. Wonderful country, pretty mediocre road, only punctuated by avoiding about 20 cyclists. 120km of dust and more dust. We found out that the rear sliding window is not totally dust-proof.
