Yeep that was a nice catch while I was on my lunch break.
Thank you so much for this!! Brilliant videography the night scenes were great. Will you spend more time at Arthur’s and make another video?
Yess there will be another longer vid coming up from Arthur's pass that was filmed in June. It's a bit to cold to be camping in Arthur's at the moment and making videos. Maybe in the spring I'll be back in that region. Thank you so much!
❤❤
@@elefteriatravels thank you ❤️
Amazing video ❤
Thank you!! ❤
Beautiful
Thank you
Gorgeous panorama!
@GirlVersusWild Thank you!! Hard to believe it's winter with those mountains looking dry still.
haha
Lived on the house on the corner (pulled down) at 18:45. We never mowed the lawn once. One day the back door fell off. We used the bottom of the flood ravaged house for firewood. My first ever trip to Greymouth was from Westport in a '72 Corolla with no windscreen. Picked up a Welsh hitchiker who got stung by a bee on the way down and parked outside the then MOT building on Mackay Street (without knowing) - didn't get a ticket. Ah - the memories!
Niiice I think a few of those homes were destroyed in the tornado back in 2005 that literally went through that street and on to to rip through the Foundery. Sounds like great memories from your time in Greymouth. I can remember those floods that would literally turn the town into a lake.
Thank you for your videos of Greymouth i used to live in the Greymouth and Ahaura regions for 16 years
Most welcome Tim there will be more vids of the Greymouth area to come over the next few months.
Another awesome POV tour thanks!! Will you add other info to your videos like maps and time and the day these were filmed?
Thank you!! More vids to come. And yess the next batch of vids that I am currently editing will have maps and rout info along with more information like day time and season ect.
Thanks Steve .
Absolutely most welcome Kevin.
Just beautiful 😊
Another superb drive thanks for this!! The walk around the bay and wharf was a nice addition to the video.
Another beautiful drive I have never driven that back road before.
Thank you plenty more vids to come!! It's quite a nice drive next time I'll have to explore around the Blackball and Roa area.
🙏🙏🙏🙏
@@tigertiger1699 Thank you very much 🙏🙏
How wonderful and exciting to view this dynamic town with all its rich and cultivating history, it indeed is. Were it any more thrilling I would be in a state of exiloration. Thank you so very much.
@MJHS1994 your absolutely most welcome!! glad you enjoyed the video!! There will be a few more Greymouth vids to follow in the future.
Massive meth problem though, you can actually see one of the dealers houses in the thumbnail. Jensa Chapman is frequent, lol her ex husband probably back with it now.....anyway the man sells ass pics drawn on I might add on gay dating sites haha lived by the park just behind ya thumbnail. Names on the park.....✌️
I shared this video with an American friend and we both LOVED it!
@matthewboyd3653 Thank you!! Punakaiki is absolutely stunning!! Glad you enjoyed the video!! Thanks for the views!!
Really enjoying this video! I live halfway up the west coast of the North Island and I've always wanted to see more of the South Island.
@matthewboyd3653 thank you!!! Absolutely most appreciated the comments and views!! I have a plenty more vids of the west coast and the south island to come.
Looking forward to visit Maruia Falls!!
@@elefteriatravels you will love it it's one spectacular place!!
I’d love to go to Maruia Falls one day! 😊 the drive looks cool too- flat so you can get lost in thought…
@GirlVersusWild definitely worth the visit. Yeep it's a easy drive and a quiet road from springs junction up to Maruia
Thank you for this.
Your most welcome thank you for the views and comments!!
hi again, loved the video, we went through Murchison on our last trip but were on a tight time frame, this is one that's going on the bucket list for our next trip. love the way you make the video so informative, shows an easy path to the falls and how to get there, looking forward to watching more, Happy Aussie.
Thank you so much!! Absolutely appreciate the feedback and hearing your positive words!! Yess definitely the waterfall is a must visit and one of the most easiest accessible waterfalls with a short walk.
Thank you for this I have always wanted to visit this waterfall. Do you have a video of Coal Creek Falls?
Thank you for the kind and positive feedback!! No next time I am on the coast I'll go to coal creek and do a video of that trail.
You were there almost at the anniversary!
I sure was!! Such a beautiful place 🙏
Beautiful video
@@roseltamangbinodlimboo Thank you so much!! Absolutely most appreciated 🙏
Incredibly peaceful
Thank you!!
Thanks. Are some of the passenger trains banked? If so, by a crewed banker or remote? Was that coal wagon set out because of sticking brakes? I love the sound of the GE U26C's. We have them in South Africa as well, our Class 34.000; 34.400 and 34.900. On the Orex line they were consisted with electric locos.
@phillipcollins9290 Hii Phillip, yess the Tranzalpine passenger train has additional locos attached at Arthur's Pass for the run down through the 8km Ōtira tunnel as extra breaks on the train and for safety reasons if the train needs to head back to Arthur's Pass. Same for the trip heading east up the tunnel from Ōtira to Arthur's Pass a loco is added to the rear of the train for safety reasons. And coal trains heading up from Ōtira also have four extra Dx class locos added for additional power up the steeply graded Ōtira Tunnel the locos are detached at Arthur's and either catch a ride with a west bound train back down to Ōtira or travel light back to Ōtira. The section from Ōtira to Arthur's pass was electrified until the mid 90s when a ventilation system was insisted at the Otira end of the tunnel to allow desile locos to travel through the tunnel. I have a couple longer vids of trains operating around Arthur's that will be available on my channel in the next few weeks.
@@steveruss8369 Thank you. I also wondered about the safety possibility. It seems Tranzalpine now is much longer and has some very smart new coaches.
@phillipcollins9290 most welcome mate. Yess the Tranzalpine has a couple of new coaches you will see a new one that's recently been added to the consist in the next vids from Arthur's Pass.
It looks like a ghost town
Yeep it's a sleepy town 😴
Another wonderful drive. Did you go to the waterfall?
Yeep that will be the next video
Even roads and urban places are beautiful there!
Yess they are absolutely spectacular just magnificent scenery everywhere 😍
Most enjoyable with a super nice sunset at the end.👍
Thank you!! The trails around the Nelson region are amazing.
This was interesting, you should make more of these kind of vids.
Thank you!! I will doo.
Thanks for this. I didn’t even know that this tarn was there. Hopefully the trail could be reinstated some day along with a boardwalk tail around the tarn to keep people off the marshland and from disturbing the vegetation.
Apparently it was the original trail up the Bealey Valley to the base of Mount Rolleston.
I was raised in Inangahua. Beautiful ❤️
Thank you!! Inagahua looks like a nice place especially being close to Reefton and the Buller Gorge.
@@steveruss8369 it's good if you want the quiet life but it was epic when we were kids.
@blaynesouthon6795 I could imagine all the funn places to explore growing up way better than a city that's for sure!!
@@steveruss8369 when we were kids we used to float down the buller river from Inangahua to Berlins pub to meet our parents cos they were already there, have a raspberry and coke and a bag of chips and they'd take us home lol
Gotta love Punakaiki!!
Absolutely it's one special place
💯💖🌞
Thank you!! Absolutely most appreciated 🙏🙏😊
looks like lower hutt a bit
I have never visited Lower Hut I'll have to add that place to the list.
Another nice cycle ride thanks.
Your most welcome. Yeep it's not a bad cycleway next time I'll have to ride out to Mapua.
Another wonderful walk. Thank you for another wonderful video.
Most welcome hopefully I'll get a few more vids in of Arthur's before I head further south.
Another beautiful drive just sad it’s cloudy and now view of the mountains.
Thank you. I'll have another vid of the same route in sunny blue sky's and mountain views coming up in the next month or so.
@@steveruss8369 looking forward to that.
Thank you for this ! I was there last in 1988 , and there were no walking tracks etc . I will never forget.... I really appreciate that there is no soundtrack ❤
Thank you!!! Next time I am in Punakaiki I'll do a update vid of the village as the new Info/Maori Culture Center is due to open. Definitely would of been a bit different back in the 80s especially with no walking trails. Most appreciated the view and comment thank you again 🙏🙏
Gee ! Thank you for your reply! I'm new to commenting on YT and have no idea how to receive replies? I watched 2 more of your videos and I don't know quite what it is, but they have a very special energy.....maybe it's your intention. (sorry if this is out of place here) You also filmed a drive where I actually live! Keep on doing you..... it's great ❤
@Henri377 thank you so much!! Absolutely most appreciated. I have been filming things and making small movies for many years. Thankfully the technology has come along way over the years making things alot easier and equipment more smaller and easier to use. I'll keep making videos as long as I have the time and funds to do so.
❤
This is really neat thank you! Aren't we lucky being able to live here !
Absolutely were incredibly blessed with all of the amazing walking/cycling trails among our incredibly magnificent scenery. Post card views in every direction.
💯
@@Henri377 Thank you
Hi , YT Just presented me with this . I'm impressed with your camera work . Thank you for doing this . I live on the top of the main island and not being able to go places this is great! Liked and subscribed 😊
Thank you!! Absolutely most appreciated and thank you for the sub. I have plenty more videos of various places and trails along with more driving vids to be uploaded to TH-cam throughout the next few months. Many thanks again for the positive feedback much appreciated 🙏🙏
Thanks for the vid what month is this and season? Winter or summer
Most welcome. Autumn when this was filmed.
When did it become a Ghost town.
It's been like that for many years now ever since the coal mining boom ended and more people moved off the coast leaving our towns a bit more empty.
Best ghost town ever love it
