Gold Rush - New Zealand

[phrunt]

Why I'm so scared to drive it is if you encounter a vehicle coming out when you're going in or the other way around.  One of you have to reverse for however far until there is a wide enough spot for the other to get around, I just couldn't confidently reverse while driving on a cliff edge so I'd refuse to budge and force the other vehicle to go backwards ?

It'd be a nightmare this time of year with snow and ice.  It'll be snowed in today as I'm stuck at home with snow today.

This is a photo of where the road is down below us when skiing.  My daughter in the photo.  Plenty of gold down in that area but the rivers/creeks are all claimed.

You'll see the road I'm too gutless to drive down, I've only been there when JW or my ML dealer have driven me in there ?

Does it start at 30:45?  Have you done that bungee jump (or is it only for TV stars)?  ?

Yup, that's the start of the road.   I haven't done any bungy jumps, I'm not too good with heights ? There are a number of jumping options around here, this is the old bungy jump spot they've moved it to a new spot as that one is just so difficult to get to with the crazy access road, it's scary enough being in a car going across that bridge for me.

Look at that beautiful gold catching bedrock, facing the right way to suck up the gold too.  It's like that all along the creek.

Some old workings in there.

Was a bit of a climb down to the creek. 

Steep too, we went down there ?

More workings.

The roads that little green line of plants along the cliff.

Looking out the window at the straight drop.

Crossing the bridge they used to do bungy off before moving it, It's a very old bridge from the Gold Rush days.  I don't trust it ?

Just watched that episode….that road is crazy!
What an absolutely beautiful country you live in Phrunt?
