RE: This is the South Island of New Zealand, or Te Waipounamu (in Maori)

Wow, thanks so much for your comments, am happy to help you anyway I can! I couldn’t recommend the camper- van more highly! Brilliant way to see NZ again. The politeness in their driving style and tolerance for camper crazy roads is amazing too.. I will be going back for sure! I will check your posts out too! Thanks for stopping by my post!!

I actually found NZ drivers a bit more aggressive than in OZ. An acquaintance had warned us about OZ driving but we later discovered she 'warns' people about everything - I found the motorways very relaxing compared to ours in Canada, where everyone drives well over the limit and many tailgate and/or pass on the wrong side. Getting through Sydney on the other hand was a bit of a challenge!

Whoa !! I’m hearing you! Sydney is mad!! I haven’t driven in Canada ... yet! @brightongreg

In Sydney I thought I was turning into a merge lane, not, stopped just in time to avoid a heavy goods lorry ending our trip! If you ever come this way contact me for advice - like Oz a very big country, lots to see, but you have to be selective.
