Nice drive on the hills of the inland of the South Island. Good road and just very light traffic, a pleasure to drive on such roads. And the weather was also perfect, thanks for sharing, a great pleasure to discover New Zealand with your videos, keep them coming, greetings from a road-tripper from Germany!

What made you go to Wedderburn? It died along with the railway from Middlemarch to Ranfurly/Alex. Grahame Sydney painted the old railway shed there many moons ago - one of his more famous Maniototo paintings, which I have a print of on my wall here in the UK.

Always going through Wedderburn on the way to Dunedin - very common route.

Sorry mate, I was thinking of Waipiata, not Wedderburn, for reason. Hard to avoid Wedderburn if you're going to Ranfurly from Alex on the road up the Manuherikia. Although it's now over 20 years since I was in that region, I should have remembered that! If I was driving from the coast to the Maniototo I'd either take the Pig Root or (more commonly) the Middlemarch route. Then I'd turn off into the Ida Valley and go over the hill to Blacks/Ophir from Poolburn, cutting out that entire section of the Ranfurly-Alex road. And vice versa going back.
