Photo Friday didn’t last long (although I may have warned you that I’m terrible at sticking with things) but it’s a new month and a new weekend so let’s try a weekend challenge instead.
Snapshot Saturday is more about taking candid shots of everyday things, rather than hunting out the perfect shot for a particular prompt. So feel free to share a photo of something from your weekend - before and after shots of gardening progress, the shiny finish on your freshly cleaned vehicle (haha) or a good sunset.
Rules: No NSFW, no shots you didn’t take yourself.
Over the rails maybe once every 2-3 years. There’s a dual 1.2m diameter culvert there on the left (where that white water is) for what is usually a tiny stream. But sometimes they just can’t cope.
Yes, it’s a functional narrow gauge rail that we use to carry passengers to/from the caves and also just as a standalone tourist railway.
That’s really cool, I bet it makes for an awesome experience. I’m keen to come try one day, as soon as I work out what else there is to do in Westport 😀
Haha, there’s some fantastic mountain biking, lots of amazing walks (day and multi-day), some good self-drive history tours (old coal and gold mines etc), horse treks, white water rafting, surf schools and more.
How does someone get from Wellington to Westport without an 8 hour drive? 🫤
3h on the ferry then 4h on the road ;) (technically only a 4h drive!) Or fly with SoundsAir
Ah, my quick google mapping must have included the ferry. 4h isn’t quite as bad. A day or two in Nelson on the way could work too (we know someone there).
The next issue is that after the Christmas break I’ll have about 1 day of annual leave left. Can you solve that problem? 😆
Haha, sadly, no.
