Took my wife's cousin's Mitsubishi Delica all around the North Island, then hopped over to Sydney, up to Newcastle, then flew out of Sydney. Total trip was three weeks. More on our NZ trip here:

OMG!

You did all that in 3 weeks? geez! I went to matamata ( lord of rings film set) hamilton, Waiheke Island, Rotaroa and Auckland Harbor. It was an awesome place, loads of sheeps and mountains and green pastures.

I wanted to go because I have co workers that are New Zealanders they are the nicest people. Was wondering what is up in New Zealand? lol.

I plan one day to do your trip in 2 weeks. I live in Sydney (boring). Newcastle is awesome, central coast is usually much better than overrated Sydney.

I plan to go to Queensland next year. I love driving up North. Taking the KIA Sportage again. It's still running like a champ. Due for a service this Monday! KIA is really beginning to win me over. Very underrated company.

Yeah, it was a whirlwind trip for sure.

My wife's cousin lives on Waiheke! We were there for four days (the longest we stayed anywhere). Did you get out to Stony Batter? It was beautiful out there.

We stayed with a friend in Newcastle (she actually runs the Newcastle Museum). Really hope to get back to both NZ and OZ sooner than later.
