New Zealand - NZ 6 - Tasman Region - Owen River & W.

Highway 6, Tasman Region, Owen River and west


All photos were taken heading west.


The last 4 photos all look northwest.


Some dramatic scenery to my left (southeast) along the Buller River.


To my right, then to the right of my right, then a closeup of a tiny portion of that photo.


I see you've played Little Hill, Big Mountain before.


Taking a look back east because my rearview mirror showed me snowcapped peaks. The first two photos look left and right, and then you have closeups from there.


I've crossed the Buller River, and now I'm nearing Murchison.


Panorama from right (north) to left (south).


The first photo looks left along the Matakitaki River on the west side of Murchison, and the remaining photos look to the right (panning from left to right).


The last photo is a bit of a composite. You can see the prior photo as a detail on the right side. The left side? Scroll way back to the second photo in the "Panorama from right to left" and I'm just barely any closer to that same mountain. Of course, those photos are only separated by 4 minutes.


Another panorama from left to right.


The Buller River is still to my right. That's now west, as the road has turned southward.


Scenery left, right, and straight ahead.


Coming up to the Highway 65 junction and another Buller River crossing, O'Sullivan's Bridge. The two river photos look right (northeast) and left (southwest).
