Outback New Zealand style

The trip from Nelson to Greymouth on the West Coast was the longest of our adventure taking us through some very isolated country.  The road conditions were ever changing, the winding turns and rainy weather conditions kept our speed low and our alertness up.  


The reward was some stunning ocean road scenery which went on for many hours and never lost its appeal.  A little over half way along in our "wilderness adventure", we encountered "Pancake Rocks", which as the name suggests was a unique geological outcrop perched on the edge of this rugged coastline.


As it was raining, Jo-Ann immediately made for the information centre and sipped hot tea, while I donned a plastic poncho and headed for the cliffs.


When I got back a bit moist and bothered, we were six tea towels and a pair of socks heavier.
