Day 58 - Tues 5th May: The Centre of NZ, Nelson

This point represents the geographical centre of New Zealand. I have no idea how they decided this, and Wikipedia states:

"This supposed "centre" was simply the convenient starting point for the original trigonometrical surveys of the South Island. The true geographical centre lies in a patch of unremarkable dense scrub in a forest in Spooners Range near Tapawera, 35 kilometres south-west of Nelson".

So, it's not really the centre of NZ. That's false advertising.

Day 56 - Sun 3rd May: Somewhere between Nelson and Takaka

I was driving on up to Takaka when I came across this old-car-now-giant-pot-plant-thingy

Day 55 - Sat 2nd May: Nelson

I haven't had a sun-setter picture up here for a while. Get your fix now, with this view from the coastline of Nelson

Day 53 - Thurs 30th April: WOW Museum, Nelson

As some of you may know, I have a slight obession with 'Back to the Future' and today a dream came true. For the first time in my life I got up close to a real, road-going DeLorean. A guy in Nelson has a shedload of money and buys all kinds of classic cars and puts them in his museum.

Look at that stainless steel shine!

Day 52 - Weds 29th April: On the ferry to Picton

Caught the interisland ferry to get to the South Island today.
You've seen 'Snakes on a Plane' (and '...on a Train'), would 'Cows on a Boat' help revive the franchise?
