    Come to the South Island well show you some real mountains, not hills and some real off roading and even more epic fishing and surfing, though you might need a 3mm min probably a 4/5 for the best waves, toughen you Aussies up either way!
    Good to see ya out in NZ, the locals tooting everywhere must have gotten the memo you guy's were in town, which is awesome NI has great places and BOP is pretty cool too, as for the Sulphur while it might stink a bit ya get used to it in a few days and miss it or I do anyhow, and its also good for you!
    Some fun random Sulphur facts!
    it's a mineral that's essential for many bodily functions!!!!!
    Sulfur helps build and repair DNA.
    Protects cells from damage that can lead to serious diseases like cancer.
    Helps your body metabolize food.
    Contributes to the health of your skin, tendons, and ligaments.
    Sulfur helps create and recycle glutathione, an antioxidant that reduces inflammation and prevents cell damage!
    So in short stinky smell is good for you, eat it up next time😛🤟

    I’ve been watching you guys for years from here thinking how cool Australia looks but so cool to see you play in our paradise. Hahei go there at least twice a year sitting on that beach like you said it’s just pinch yourself moments. It’s a shame you don’t have 3 months I’m sure you still wouldn’t manage all the cool stuff. As for the Haka most high schools have there own version image 2500 13-17 year olds performing at the same time. You get two feelings, tears of pride and the amazement of the ground shacking from the stomping it’s very special. Can’t wait for your next vid.

    tip
    Fish dawn and dusk off the beach.
    Preferably over high tide .
    If you surf you will know how to spot the holes.
    I often fish off langs beach northland .
    Get a legal snapper most days.

    I am retired and live/travel in my caravan full time. Actually started out with a 9m motorhome A-framing a Vitara. Soon realised that a person by themselves does not need a 9m motorhome, and A-framing is a pain in the a..e .........can't reverse for one thing.
    I now have a 4.3m caravan, which is ideal for NZ roads and don't need a big area to park up. In fact, some freedom camp sites are restricted to 7m maximum length.
    Aussie caravans are popular in NZ due to their perceived strength, but a lot of them are really too big for NZ backroads. Need more caravans 7m tip to tip, or less.

    You would have driven past my front gate. You need to learn flyfishing for trout at some stage, here with that caravan and Ute. If you think those hills are great try getting right in to them and down in the rivers fishing. My recommendation is a book "John Kent North Island trout fishing guide" it gives all the spots that no one has heard of including camping spots.

    We can tell you are not a Kiwi when you start talking about the mountains. We only have mountains in the Middle of the North Island , 1 at New plymouth and the rest are down the centre of the South island. The rest are just hills. Those East coast cows are a bit of a Ripleys beleive it or not. In the mornings just before sunrise the fish come into the shallows and the cows get down there to catch the fish for thier breakfast, Yes the cows in NZ eat fish and thats why you see them on the beach. I did say it was a beleive it or not

    NZ is lovely but feel tourists should pay a tourism tax to pay for the free services such as toilets and roading provided and usage of tourism tracks that need upkeep and paid by Kiwis. Also toilets are a must in campervans as there are many campervans parking up without toilet facilities (likely homeless sadly), using the roadside as their toilet in the cities and camping areas.
