Just ten miles east of Westport in the South Island Highway 6 gets amazingly fun to drive and stunningly picturesque. The road follows one of the country’s longest rivers as you drive north east towards Nelson. Just also Hawks Crag is a sharp U bend in the river called Dee Point, pictured above. Seeing this reflection and the great size of this river (seen here in a time of draught in mid summer) I just had to stop the car for a photograph.
