Okay, picture this: you're up in the Aupouri Peninsula, practically at the tippy-top of New Zealand's North Island, heading to a hidden gem called Tapotupotu Beach.
Now, the road in – Tapotupotu Road – it's a bit of an adventure in itself. Forget smooth tarmac; this is a 3.1km (1.92 miles) stretch of well-maintained gravel, kicking up a cloud of dust as you go. It's a single lane, so take your time and enjoy the ride.
Starting from the main drag (State Highway 1), you'll soon be breathing in that fresh, salty air. Just a heads up: this beach is wild and unpatrolled, so keep your wits about you if you're planning a swim. But hey, bragging rights are yours for visiting one of New Zealand's northernmost beaches, practically next door to Cape Reinga!

extremeTravelling The Zigzag, a dangerous road in New Zealand
🇳🇿 New Zealand
Picture this: You're smack-dab in the heart of New Zealand's South Island, cruising through Arthur's Pass National Park on what used to be part of the old Arthur's Pass road (Highway 73). We're talking about "The Zigzag," a section that was seriously hardcore! This wasn't your average Sunday drive. "The Zigzag" was built right across a constantly shifting scree slope. Imagine battling steep inclines that forced most cars into first gear, hairpin turns that tested your skills, and the constant threat of rockslides. Over the decades, they kept having to move the road to escape erosion, floods and landslides. Eventually, it was just too risky to keep up. In 2001, the epic Ōtira Viaduct came to the rescue. Soaring through the Ōtira Gorge, it skips all the dodgy bits of the old road. Now, you can cruise along the Great Alpine Highway (aka Highway 73) with total peace of mind, soaking in the incredible views of Arthurs Pass National Park without the white-knuckle stress of "The Zigzag."
hardIs the road to Ōhau Snow Fields unpaved?
🇳🇿 New Zealand
Okay, picture this: you're cruising through New Zealand's Mackenzie High Country, practically within spitting distance of Mount Cook, and you decide to head up to Ōhau Snow Fields. The adventure starts on Ohau Mountain Access Road, a surprisingly smooth, yet totally unpaved alpine road that’s one of the best in the country! This winding beauty climbs 9.3 km (5.77 miles) from Lake Ohau Road, gaining a whopping 940 meters in elevation. That's an average gradient of 10.1%, so hold on tight! It's narrow and super steep, and while there are no guardrails, the road is kept in tip-top shape so mud isn't usually a problem. But hey, a 4WD wouldn't hurt, just to be safe! The views? Absolutely insane. As you climb, you'll catch glimpses of Aoraki Mount Cook, and jaw-dropping views overlooking Lake Ohau. Keep your eyes peeled for sneak peeks of the snow field itself before you reach the car park. Trust me, the photo ops are endless. Just a heads up, the weather up in the Ohau Range can be a bit of a wild card, so pack accordingly! Basic survival gear is always a good idea. Bottom line? This drive is 100% worth it. Get ready for some seriously stunning scenery!
easyPaekakariki Hill Road in NZ is one of the most beautiful coastal drives
🇳🇿 New Zealand
Okay, picture this: you're cruising along Paekakariki Hill Road, one of the most stunning coastal drives on New Zealand's North Island. This beauty, dating back to 1849, snakes its way along the south-western coast, totally paved and begging to be explored. This isn't just any road; it's a 17km (10.56 miles) ribbon of asphalt connecting Paekākāriki to Pāuatahanui with non-stop views. Budget around 25-35 minutes to soak it all in. But heads up! This road demands your attention. It's known to get a bit slippery when the rains come down, and sometimes Mother Nature throws a tantrum and closes it down for a while. The road climbs up to 242m (793ft), and you'll definitely feel it in some of those steeper sections where the gradient hits 16%. But trust me, those coastal views are so worth it!
extremeDriving the Mitchell Highway is a truly outstanding adventure
🇦🇺 Australia
Okay, road trip lovers, listen up! The Mitchell Highway is calling your name! This epic stretch of asphalt connects Queensland and New South Wales, offering a seriously scenic adventure through the heart of Australia. Named after a legendary explorer, this highway is a vital link for both travelers and freight. Clocking in at a whopping 1,105 km (687 mi), it's one of the longest roads in Oz. You can cruise it in any vehicle, thanks to its fully paved surface. The views are incredible, but be warned: this route is REMOTE. Seriously, plan your stops, fuel, and overnight stays in advance. Mobile reception can be patchy, and you DO NOT want to be stuck out here at night. Why? Animals! They love to wander onto the road, making nighttime driving super risky. It is a very dangerous road, so take extra precautions. But if you're prepared, the Mitchell Highway promises an unforgettable Aussie road trip!
