Hi Ian
Not exactly in keeping with the heading but I was transferred from Dunedin to Auckland in 1969. A month after I arrived I learned a colleague was in town on a course. I invited him to join me exploring. He was a bit surprised when 700 road miles away, I turned up in the same toy car I had in Dunedin. We hammered along the motorway and drove out to the coast on the route photographed. The road was very narrow, single lane in parts, the corners very blind, and the bedrock protruded several inches. I gather my colleague was pleased to get back home to his powerful, smooth, quiet A30!
For anyone curious the photo is looking south across the entrance to the southernmost of the two large harbours which Auckland occupies.
