Australian riding New Zealand South Island
« on: April 16, 2011, 09:31:27 am »


A little more mountainous than our country; for me New Zealand is the dirt bike mecca.

South Island is one of the most picturesque places on earth..Queenstown and surrounds is the area to be in for absolute beaty in autumn. I am envious of this ride.

It will be a couple of months, because I am heading off to Europe to ride.  I am hoping to sell an hour long DVD to an Australian dirt bike magazine.   I'm not sure how I will get it to you yet.

The famly toured South Island in their summer by combi.  Saw some bikes but not many.  Saw more bicycle on the road than motorbike.  It is extremely beautiful there and I agree Queenstown was a highlight of the tour.

Be prepared for cold weather and rain is guaranteed in most parts.  

To give you an idea of the scenery.
