The idiosyncrasies of a State Highway, north to the lighthouse • Bends, roaming cattle, free lemons and one-way bridges. Where else in the world could you find such an idiosyncratic state highway? North of Awanui our main-trunk line reveals a whimsical personality which is irresistible. A trip north to see the lighthouse at Cape Rēinga left me a little bit in love with SH1.

Down by the Riverside • There’s something for everyone on Whangārei’s Huarahi o Te Whai (Hātea Loop) Walk

Hanging out in the Heartland • A back-road journey through rural central North Island from Feilding to Rerewhakaaitu via Napier and Lake Waikaremoana

Change of Seasons • Allan Dick experiences winter and early spring in the Mackenzie Country

Gentle times in the Catlins • The Catlins is a fascinating blend of lonely, lovely nature, early settlement history, free roaming and sometime seen wildlife which is now attracting more New Zealanders to its sights and experiences.

A Swiss long time Caravanner in New Zealand • Stuck in Godzone for 18 months – how divine is such a life?

Unwrapping the Lake Dunstan Trail • Gary maps the Lake Dunstan Trail, a scenic undulating track following the Central Otago lake’s shore that is sure to be popular, with its elaborate bridging making it unique in the cycle trail network.
