  • Today, we're on our way to Arthur's Pass and we will stop in Sheffield to try the world-famous Sheffield pies! We have to be honest, they were absolutely delicious, probably our favourite so far! Followed by Springfield, where you can find the giant famous doughnut from the Simpsons, and at last, we explored the excellent Castle Hill, which where amazing rock formations are scattered throughout the beautiful flat plane lands.

    You should get a small 12v fridge for your car, or at least a good chilly bin (cooler bin), which you could add bags of ice to. Most petrol stations sell bags of ice. The Warehouse has both fridges and chilly bins, some are quite cheap, too. Even without ice, a good chilly bin will give you much longer life for your cold foods. As for the hawk, definitely protecting a nest, and those walkers with the large kit were probably getting a lot of funny comments, so probably the joke had worn thin by the time you met them!😉

    We loved Castle Hill... if you head further through Arthurs Pass be sure to stop at the Otira Hotel. The entire little town of Otira was bought by the man running the hotel and I promise, it will be the quirkiest place you'll ever see! As others said too, when you head south make sure to go to St Bathans.

    Really enjoying hearing your impressions of NZ. When I was a boy the hot pools of Hanmer were naked bathing. The high content of sulphur in the water was said to rot the fabric of a swimming costume. There were 3 pools: children - women - men. The smell of sulphur permeated the town. A simpler time :-)

      Hey there Merry Christmas! Thanks for watching and yeah your totally right the problem is there’s a lot of noise pollution sometimes and I edit it to increase the volume on spots were the volume may seem low or mado is to far away from the camera so I raise the volume on these areas so it may seem that the volume is up and down on parts of the video. The problem is if we use a mic and cut out the sound from our surroundings then we couldn’t speak to locals and hear there stories as mics wouldn’t pick up sound from a distance but We will consider mics while driving which would be ideal! So you don’t hear the car driving 🚗

    There is alot of history surrounding Arthur's pass and the amount of time it took to originally find the animal track that went through the southern Alps. For pies I would also suggest checking out the Darfield bakery, ferlie pie shop, U bake and the Wakefield bakery. Also take a look around kurow and omarara if your interested in the rock formations. St Bathans, Clyde, Cormwell and Alexandra also have really interesting history as does Timaru, Oamaru, Tekapo and the west coast. However, be mindful that from now (Christmas) until around the 8th of January many places do close over the break

    You should get yourself a medium size chilly bin and fill it with ice and that will be your frig, should last a good 2-3days before you need some more ice. Ice is readily available at all petrol stations. 40yrs ago That's how I used to chill all my perishables before modern day camp is today. But now I have everything including the kitchen sink and the loo, well I built myself an RV van with everything in it to travel around Australia. Next stop I'll probably move back to NZ and tour around the whole country with special attention on the South Island as I have not been there yet. Being a North Islander I've never really been that interested in the South Island until I watched your vlogs, must say it looks good. My next stop after OZ.👍🏽😎

    Actually the creators of the Simpsons donated those “doughnuts” to every town in the world that was named “Springfield”. It hasn’t been there long, Probably why it needs refurbishment already it wasn’t made for NZ conditions.

      The killing of the moa was not an act of senseless slaughter like they did to the Buffalo in america the moa provided food and clothing for a people and their survival, and let's just be clear there was no such thing as sustainability back then or farming for that matter so if they knew then what we know now about farming im sure your moa would still be around and lastly the Hass eagle also had the moa on its menu that also added to the demise of your moa, so before you start cursing or cussing the maori because they killed off the moa get your facts straight first, cheers bro...
