A little overnighter about an hour from home 
The thing I love about these V8's is they make nothing a chore: you load them up, you jump in, you go. They make driving effortlessly easy with their power (compared to my old 1HZ's I've owned).

Some more snaps of recent travels. This was the Hawksburn Road
The Hawksburn Road runs between the historic township of Clyde and Bannockburn, skirting the Cairnmuir Range on the southern side. This is a land rich in history. This was once the main travelling route to Bannockburn, the Clutha and Kawarau Basins during the gold mining era - sense their gruelling journey, their conquests and the tragedies of the rush for gold. It may even have been the original Maori routes possibly dating back to the 13th century when moa were hunted in large numbers throughout the area.

The Nevis Valley & Duffers Saddle
The Nevis Valley was first used as a trail route by Maori people. Early European settlers farmed the valley and in 1862 gold was discovered by miners from the Dunstan goldfield (Central Otago) and the Nokomai Goldfield,(Southland) in October that year. Efforts to keep the find a secret failed - and so began the Nevis Valley gold rush.Saved by the remoteness of this valley, the remains of numerous stone buildings from the gold mining days offer a fascinating insight into the perseverance and ingenuity of early pioneers. The relics include everything from the cemetery and settlement buildings through to a woolshed and the first ski hut.
