Hamilton- the Palmy with enough self awareness to hide itself in fog.

After the fiasco of a couple of days ago where the gps tried to send us down the gorge ( closed indefinitely ) on the way back from taupo and instead made us drive through twice, Palmy can get fucked even more than usual. Shithole.
You don’t know your way home from Taupo?

Were you going to HB?
If you're going to Wellington there's no reason to go to Palmy whatsoever - your GPS was fucking with you.

Coming back from Taupo to try and go direct to Gladstone.

Gladstone
I've never heard of Gladstone and likely have been past it many times ;).
I assume your GPS tried to take you over the Pahiatua track and sent you to Palmy to do it? You could have avoided it altogether by going over the Saddle Road but then you would to have gone through Feilding, Bunnythorpe, Ashurst and Woodville, so six of one, half dozen of the other really.

Manawatu Gorge is shut though brudda. Ask @NTA about Gladstone. Magnificent spot.

That's why I said over the Saddle Road - although, TBF you could have gotten to the Pahiatua track the same way. There really was no reason to go to Palmy.
What would NTA know about magnificent, he's Australian, they call hills the Blue Mountains.

I've driven from Taupo to Welly about a million times but haven't done the other way before....and I always get lost in the flat hole that is Palmy.

I guess you need to aim for Ashurst on the GPS from say Bulls, then once you hit Ashurst aim for Gladstone. Just avoid the dark grey clouds in the centre as that's Palmy.

Walk down into the valleys between them, smart-arse. They'll look like mountains on the way out, trust me.
Where the fuck is Gladstone?

If the clouds don’t put you off the billboard that says “ if you lived here, you’d have hung yourself by now” certainly should.

It's where you stayed in November, moron.

Having just spent a week down there in Katoomba I have adjusted my opinion of the Blue Mountains. Spectacular piece of country. Most impressed and seriously underrated. (As opposed to the Sydney Estuary which was seriously underwhelming, although with a pretty spectacular, if disappointingly small, bridge. Most overrated. Both cases perhaps reflective of expectation.)
But a GPS? In NZ? To get from Taupo to the Wairarapa? Even with the Gorge closed it should take one glimpse at a map ...

Shsssssh, we're supposed to be winding up the Aussies about their mountains that you have to descend down into before discovering their beauty ;).
What is the Sydney Estuary? The Harbour area?
