-- About this video --
Today we are starting our Waitaki Valley adventure starting in the town of Oamaru! We get some much needed road trip snacks at the candy outlet store before hitting the road to the Waitaki Valley, otherwise known as the Vanished World Trail.
First stop on our Vanished World Trail itinerary is the Vanished World Centre in Duntroon. This is a small museum of the fossils and bones found in the Waitaki Valley. We see prehistoric penguins bones, shark-tooth dolphins, whale fossils, moa bones and much more!
Then we move onto the Maori Rock Art, a historical site where early Maori painted drawings into the walls. The Maori Rock Art in the Waitaki Valley is a great example of authentic Maori history.
Next up is the Elephant Rocks in the Waitaki Valley! These weathered limestone outcrops in a grassy field come in all shapes and sizes making some incredible photo opportunities. The Elephant Rocks in New Zealand are some awesome rock formations.
Our final destination today is Omarama! So what do you think of this Waitaki Valley road trip? Would you add it to your South Island travel itinerary? LUK in the comments!

13 Best Experiences in New Zealand's South Island
13 Best Experiences in New Zealand's South Island according to Lonely Planet
13. The Catlins
12. Oamaru
11. Stewart Island
10. Skiing & Snowboarding
You're guaranteed to find decent South Island snow right through the winter season. The most famous slopes are around hip Queenstown and laidback Wanaka, with iconic ski runs such as Coronet Peak, the Remarkables and Treble Cone close at hand. There are also dedicated snowboarding and cross-country snow parks here.
9. Milford Sound
Milford Sound is a spectacular glacier-carved fiord in the Fiordland National Park on the west coast of New Zealand and isone of New Zealand's most well known scenic attractions. On display in the fiord is a spectacular combination of mountains, sheer cliffs, waterfalls and marine life. It is the best known of a series of fiords in the park, and the only one which is accessible by road.
8. TranzAlpine
In less then five hours the TranzAlpine crosses from the Pacific Ocean to the Tasman Sea. Leaving Christchurch it speeds across the Canterbury Plains to the foothills of the Southern Alps. After negotiating tunnels and viaducts, the train enters the broad expanse of the Waimakariri Valley. Then it's all downhill: through the Taramakau River Valley, past Lake Brunner, and finally into sleepy Greymouth.
7. Otago Peninsula
The Otago Peninsula is stunning proof there's more to the South Island's outdoor thrills than heart-stopping alpine and lake scenery. Amid a backdrop of coastal vistas combining rugged, hidden beaches with an expansive South Pacific horizon, it's very easy to spot penguins, seals and sea lions. Beyond the rare yellow-eyed penguin, or hoiho, other fascinating avian residents include the royal albatross.
6. Queenstown
What was once a small, remote, South Island town has transitioned, first to a busy ski destination, and now to a year round tourist mecca and centre for adventure tourism. It is a world famous destination attracting around 1.9 million visitors every year, undoubtedly the tourism capital of the South Island if not New Zealand, and a must-see stop for most visitors to New Zealand.
5. Central Otago
Here's your chance to balance virtue and vice, all with a background of some of NZ's most starkly beautiful landscapes. Take to two wheels to negotiate the easygoing Otago Central Rail Trail, cycling into heritage South Island towns such as Clyde and Naseby. Tuck into well-earned beers in laidback country pubs, or linger for a classy lunch in the vineyard restaurants of Bannockburn.
4. Franz Josef Glacier
The 11 km long Franz Josef Glacier is one of New Zealand's most spectacular natural attractions, a remnant from the Ice Age which is one of South Westland's major drawcards for visitors. The recent spectacular ice retreat at the Franz Josef Glacier has surprised even the experts and shocked local businesspeople who thought the formerly impressive ice river would be a reliable cash-cow for years to come.
3. Akaroa & Banks Peninsula
Akaroa is a charming town on Banks Peninsula in Canterbury. It is the only French settlement in New Zealand. Akaroa's harbour is home to an array of wildlife, most notably the rare Hector's dolphin. Cruises and dolphin swimming are popular attractions. A popular drive is to Pohatu Marine Reserve, centered on nearby Flea Bay.
2. Kaikoura
Kaikoura is a small coastal town on the east coast, about 180 km north of Christchurch. It is famed for its marine mammals (whales, dolphins, seals) and other sea-life, all of which you can see, some of which you can swim with, and some you can eat. In Maori, kai means eat and koura is crayfish' (rock lobster). So Kaikoura is a place to eat crayfish!
1. Abel Tasman National Park
Here's New Zealand nature at its most glorious and seductive: lush green hills fringed with golden sandy coves, slipping gently into warm shallows before meeting a crystal-clear sea of cerulean blue. Abel Tasman National Park is the quintessential postcard paradise, where you can put yourself in the picture, assuming an endless number of poses: tramping, kayaking, swimming, sunbathing, or even makin' whoopee in the woods.

Dunedin to Queenstown Road Trip | Dunedin Travel Guide | New Zealand
Hey Guys!
Welcome back to another episode of Two Hungry Diners - greetings from New Zealand. We traveled to South Island in New Zealand a couple of weeks ago and had a lot of fun there. We landed in a city called Dunedin, a city in New Zealand, at the head of Otago Harbour on the South Island’s southeast coast. It's known for its Scottish and Maori heritage, Victorian and Edwardian architecture, and a large student population. If you haven't checked that video out you can follow this link:
In this video, we are doing a fun road trip from Dunedin to Queenstown. We heard that New Zealand is a fun place to drive around and the scenery is stunning so we decided to video our road-trip. There are a couple of routes you can take from Dunedin to Queenstown from the fastest to the longest route (along the coast of South Island) where you'll be gifted with amazing scenery. But because we want to reach Queenstown quickly, we decided to take the shortest and fastest route.
While this route is not the most scenic route but the sceneries are not that bad given the nature of this beautiful country. Along the way, we stopped at a couple of towns: Lawrence, Alexandra, Cromwell & Lake Dunstan, Arrowtown, and finally Queenstown. The drive-in itself took about 3 1/2 hours without long stops but since we stopped in almost every major towns it took us a good 8 hours to reach Queenstown. All in all, it was really fun, so check out this video hopefully you guys get an idea what it is like to drive around in New Zealand.

Pacing KiwiRail milk train
Pacing Kiwirail milk train 547 Whareroa - Palmerston North. This shot was filmed on the Aorangi straights between Feilding and Bunnythorpe. This is one of the best pacing shots I've ever done - the road was smooth, there was no traffic and the light was awesome. The sun had just set and the sky was just starting to turn red.
The shot originally commenced on the other side of Feilding and I managed to keep some part of the train in the frame all the way through town, but the road was a bit rough and it wasn't worth using the first half of the footage.
This shot is included in my DVD Diesels on Parade.

TOWER INSURANCE - CONFIDENCE
When you were a kid, you were indestructible, able to climb any tree, bike down any hill, or defeat any monster. That was because you were confident that whatever happened, everything would be okay because there was someone looking after you. Unfortunately, a lot of that confidence fades with age.
