Magnificent views. Those wild tussock tops are a glorious in fine weather, but what the miners put up with way back would have been really frightening.
Hey Em, you need to be very careful during winter. We wouldn’t attempt it during heavy snow fall. The Old Man Range has claimed some vehicles during heavy snow. Google vehicle rescue Old Man Range and you will get to see what it is like during the winter months. The shorter track up to the Obelisk wouldn’t be quite so tricky.
Loved the video, thank you for sharing.
Nice😁

It's mind-boggling how those early miners ever survived in these conditions, sadly many of them didn't.
O - bel - isk. Also known as Kopuwai, with some interesting Maōri mythology
Would u do this road in winter?
