Day 20 Kaiteriteri to Collingwood

Today we drove on more winding roads than at any other time since we’ve been here in New Zealand. One road chokers from sea level to 800 metres in just several kilometres and then back down again. That was just the first of many winding roads today use not just by us but also by semi trailers and b doubles and tourist buses, a bit scary on the bends especially as there was a scarcity of guard rails.

Collingwood, a town reminiscent of Daintree Village in Far North Queensland, except Collingwood has been almost destroyed by fire 5 times
