  • Murchison, a spot we've not been on our travels, full of rivers, and quiet places, which is what we like. There's way more exploring to be done in the river, but we were a bit restricted by weather... We checked out the buller gorge, and the local school, as well as Maruia falls. Part of winter travel is dealing with the elements, the cold and the wet, which we are pretty well adjusted to. there's a lot to do in this spot, we didn't film it all, but we'd happily return in the summer especially for some of the great swimming spots.

    More fun adventures. Back in the day they tried tunnelling through the Peninsula where that swing bridge goes to a diverting the river for gold mining. Apparently lots of gold in there. It's a neat place to explore.

    If you’re heading down the coast via Reefton, might I suggest Nelson Creek campground. Turn off just before Ngahere. Well signposted. non-DOC, donation camp.
    Shower, toilets, water and some great walks on old logging railways including the odd tunnel. 👍

    That bridge is a no, no for me. You paid 40 dollars to cross? They would have to pay me a couple thousand for me to cross. Love your videos. I bet tourism has increased in NZ since your channel has started.

      @leopardsgowild  13 วันที่ผ่านมา +2

      I know $40 is a bit expensive, considering there are a lot of these bridges around the country which are completly free.... We live in a great part of the world. Hope it's not to hot over there for ya.
