All the boxes advertising various iconic Kiwi products such as Jandals (flip-flops or things for Australians) . Excellent to see these old product boxes.

The Road to Bainham becomes a gravel one a bit further on after the Salisbury historic foot bridge remains. Locals and tourists come here to get a coffee and feed before going on to the start of the Heaphy Track, one of the several long & spectacular bush walks NZ has to offer.

New Zealand is the spot for a plethora of One Lane Bridges where you approach cautiously and then decide if you can cross. Some bridges are hard to judge with a rising curve making sight lines very poor, but this one was short and easy to navigate. The locals (or someone) obviously thought it was perfect for target practice.
The areas around the sign are wild and remote so traffic is light. I noticed in this area and other rural areas are home to "Freedom" movements of people antagonistic to recent NZ Governments, their policies in the public health crisis we all participated in.

The Defamation Case brought against Channel 10 and Lisa Wilkinson by Bruce Lehrmann has concluded.
This turned into a de-facto trial of him and the rape allegations made by Brittany Higgins.
To me it has provided some ending in this endless roadwreck of allegations, media, trials, politics, personalities etc. An Omni S...Show! Finally, I think Justice Michael Lee has found what truth remains! And I think the media interferred sufficiently to deny justice in a criminal trial to Brittany Higgins. Here's hoping she gets some solace from this one.
