Central Otago back roads

[FJRider]

This is one of the back country "roads", I get paid to drive into as part of my job.

Looks a bit like Skippers to me - is it??

And onto the Branch Station? You delivering into there or bringing stock out. Driving a heavy on that road would be interesting I'm guessing.

Skippers road into the Branches station. Improving their water system. New bore pump and new shut off valves in their tanks. I'm in the irrigation/water busness. It is fun, even in a 4wd ute. I did a Bungy jump off the skippers bridge.Thats 90 metres above the water. How far above the bridge do ya reckon I took the photo ??? Coming out this road in the dark is fun too.

Nice photos. Been up that way a couple of times (only by car though). Hubby did the AJ Hackett 73 metre bungy jump of the bridge about ten years ago. When we first drove in, we thought he was having to jump of what they call the pipeline (101 metres), which looked really scary. But the bridge jump was further on and didn't seem as scary, but then it wasn't me jumping.

Yea, and the water aint that deep. They dont dunk on that jump.
