Great video, How would u know if someone is coming from opposite side on the Haast bridge crossing, l didnt see any lights ? Been to NZ before and bridges had lights to let u know to wait there , we will be in that area in a couple months ...ty
@carmenp1296 thank you!! With the Haast bridge you can see if there is traffic coming from the opposite direction when you approache the bridge from either end. There are no traffic lights and there are two sections on the bridge for cars to pull into to let on coming traffic pass. That section of road isn't very bussy and there are alot of other one way bridges in New Zealand especially in the south island.
Gorgeous scenery
Another brilliant drive in some truly beautiful scenery. Nice to see the ocean too. The quality in 1080p doesn’t look very good to be honest
You are so lucky you live there 💕😀
@elefteriatravels Thank you I miss driving this road daily it's my favorite all time drive.
No traffic, great weather - a great road trip. Cheers Steve
@richardcaldwell9160 Thank you Richard. Yeep it was a quiet Sunday morning drive down to Greymouth love the quiet west coast roads.
Steve your drives are always a pleasure. Keep it up!
@@KiwiBoomer Thank you so much most appreciated!! I have a few more to come.
Another great video Steve. Same route exactly my cousin took me on . Memories. Cheers
@paulherron1933 Thank you Paul. I can never get tired of driving that coastal road.
Another beautiful drive. Love that coast road. The new building in Punakaiki looks intresting
@outtherewithsteve5057 yess i must do a update walk around video of Punakaiki with the new culture center that had just recently been opened.
lol damn the tourists there are annoying to have to slow down for
@unhippy1 plenty of tourists about enjoying them views
@@steveruss84 seems to be....still no where near as many as before ku-flu hit tho
Another goood drive. Love that west coast rainforest and mountain scenery.
Thank you!! Unfortunately the quality of the videos arnt very good due to the fact youtube compress my videos when I uploaded them so 1080p looks garbage.
Perfect timing for this Video Steve. I will be on west coast driving north from Te Anau back up to Nelson before heading back to Christchurch via Blenheim. Cheers for uploading and hope some more to follow like this. Roll on my trip in March. Who says you can't be in 60s and get excited about upcoming trip !
Thank you so much again Paul!! Glad my videos are helpful to you!! I have a couple more driving videos from the coast coming up the next one is from Fox River heading down along the great coast road to Greymouth. You will be looking forward to your up and coming road trip!!I am looking very forward to heading to central otago and Te Anau again this time with the camera on the car!!
Nice drive out Steve. Brings memories of 2019 back. Road trip with two relatives who are Kiwi born and bred. Fox Glacier and White pub for food. Glad am heading back in March , and now I know where I am staying again. Cheers. Great upload
Thank you Paul most appreciated!! I absolutely love the South Westland of the west coast. I hear the cost is currently having the best weather at the moment while the rest of the country is having a bit of a cold summer always happens when I am not on the coast! Hope the weather will be decent when you visit the coast!! Cheers
The best lake for peace and tranqulity along with the walk through the beautiful forest
@outtherewithsteve5057 absolutely the walk is beautiful and those mountain reflections are just the added bonus
I always enjoy watching your videos and playlists when I am on my treadmill thanks for the motivation
@russy8488 many thanks again I highly appreciate the views and comments
Love the Kea
A champ of a year to you
Still the best place for those mountain reflections
@russy8488 yess. There are a few other hidden gems that provide reflections just as good as Lake Matheson just need the right conditions to be able to access them.
I was reading on Facebook that they are going to build a gondola from this car park that will run up to Hends Ridge? Another great vid thanks I find these huts interesting would like to camp there some day.
@russy8488 ahhh interesting I don't have social media but there was a talk a few years ago about building a gondola from the village upto the northern peaks but with the village literally being on top of a active fault line and the on going issues with the Waiho River flooding and erosion of land that is close to the village it just seams like a dreamers idea to build a gondola in a high risk area.
Thank you for this walk we don’t have these walks in the part of Australia that I live in too many snakes and spiders in our forest areas.
@russy8488 your most welcome this is my favorite walking trail. I am just happy to have it preserved in my collection of vids. I was definitely 💩 my pants when I was in Australia doing some hikes alot of creepy things in their woods.
This POV from the front of your car is much better. I wish that your channel would get more views and likes and subs. People that watch your vids would at least give you a like for the effort you put into your content your promoting the places that you visit for free. I wish I could come to New Zealand and experience these places again but your videos are the next best thing. Cheers
@@russy8488 i think that most people probly dont have youtube accounts or watch youtube through tv.
@russy8488 well thank you!! Unfortunately it's upto the viewer to give a like obviously more likes my vids get the more traction they will get in the algorithm. But my vids are more of a person record of my travels and I purely enjoy editing and making content for UA-cam it fills in my quiet nights alone out in the wilderness camping. But yess if people can chuck my a likes on my vids I would be absolutely grateful 🙏
@@outtherewithsteve5057 yesss that's true I am sure you can still like vids if you watch them through a TV.
Cheers Steve, I do like it when i see there is quite a few campervans around - great for local business.
@richardcaldwell9160 absolutely Richard it's absolutely bussy at the moment alot if campers and house buses touring around the country.
This new camear angle is a big improvement on your driving videos.
@outtherewithsteve5057 thank you! Yeep the full scene view is much better.
I agree much better than the inside view where the scenery was obstructed by the dashboard and window glare.
I must hike there ❤
@@elefteriatravels absolutely 💯 all the trails are absolutely spectacular
And Australia tooo
Love this trail. I use to walk it at least a dozen times per day when i lived in Fox Glacier.
@outtherewithsteve5057 it's a nice trail soo peaceful and tranquil
Your country video are so good
@Spicy248 thank you I have plenty more driving videos to come of New Zealand's scenery
Thanks for visiting my Livestream,
@@Spicy248 anytime 😊 🙏
A great piece of NZ history, but for me the sounds of the birds makes the show. Cheers Steve
Thank you so much Richard!! Absolutely I totally agree I am pleased thar this hut has been rebuild for the public to view we need more of these heritage buildings preserved.
Happy New year , the mountains view are so refreshing
Thank you!! And the same to you!!!🙏💙
Happy new year Steve and family 🎉✨️🥂
@@TheMadWeka thank you mate and the same to you and your family ✨️ 🎊 🎉 🍻
Love greymouth
@rikkic1428 it's a nice town. Its getting better all the time.
Thank you for this hut tour!! Have a wonderful New Year looking forward to more of your adventures in 2025
Your most welcome glad you enjoyed the videos. And thank you and a happy New to you.
Excellent clip Steve, as they say "You can't beat Westland on a good day" or is that Wellington. Cheers & Happy New Year to you
@richardcaldwell9160 Thank you so much Richard and a happy New Year to you and your family and have a wonderful 2025 🙏
Love Rimu Road ❤
@@elefteriatravels it's one stunning drive❤️
New Zealand will be my next destination ❤
@@elefteriatravels absolutely 💯 ❤️
Wow would love to see a video to this lake
Gorgeous birds ❤
Love Franz Josef definitely different from when I was there in the 90s
Love these time lapse drives incredibly interesting to watch
Would be better if the camera was mounted to the outside of your car to reduce the glare from the sun through the window screen along with getting a better view of the road and scenery rather seeing your dash board in every view.
@russy8488 yess my next batch of driving videos will be from a totally different prospective most will be from the front giving a full view pov and more of the scenery will be visible with no window glare from the sun.
Another absolutely brilliant video. Do you have cameras set up at those locations? You seam to be all over the place in a limited amount of time where there is no road access to thos locations that you film the trains from.
Ahhh nice to see another Greymouth video such a beautiful place. Love the star lapse video at the end.
Beautiful
Beautiful ❤️
Cheers mate, where are the trees?
@knockoutrat4065 think some of the trees around the Greymouth CBD have been removed
❤❤❤
@@elefteriatravels thank you 🙏😊❤️
Hey Steve, when the West Coast puts on a good day, nothing else matters. IF I win lotto, I'll move to either Westport, Hokitika or Oamaru. I have been to all & enjoyed my time there. Actually Paraparaumu suits me fine. Cheers Steve & Happy Christmas to you
@richardcaldwell9160 Thank you so much Richard and have a wonderful Christmas 🎄 🎅🙏
That orange underwing is gorgeous!
Love the colour in the keas 💚🧡🦜
Sunset on the West Coast, a great bike ride - Cheers Steve
Cheers Richard! Absolutely can't beat a good West Coast sunset 👌
Thanks for recording this.
@saveme7571 most welcome next time I travel this road I'll put the camera on thr outside of my car
