    Why not fly to Hamilton? Unless there are no direct flights from wherever...

    There are no direct flights from Dunedin to Hamilton. You either do Dunedin - Wellington - Hamilton or Dunedin-Auckland then drive to Hamilton

    Just be aware of the amount of tax collectors on that stretch of road. Nice and straight means an easy trap for unwary.

    Bridges with on-ramps are one favourite lurking spot.

    And don't we know it...... Especially the one north of Huntly where the 4 lane finishes. Also the one by Hampton Downs is a fave lunch time parking spot for the popo

    only saw a couple of cops the whole time we were away, dont know why everybody gives hamilton a hard time from what i saw it looks nice, people drive faster in the Nth Island i think, had a good time nice to be home.....the motel owner was a bloke dressed as a woman, not a particularly attractive bloke either

    Where the hell did you stay? Hotel Gayos?
    Should have stayed around the corner in Hotel Bastardos.

    Every time I go back to Auckland from Gore it takes me a couple of days to get back into the hectic pace the traffic moves at, and all those fucking lights.
    For a man is a slave to whatever has mastered him. Keep an open mind, just dont let your brains fall out.

    Did you meet her mother... or was that her brother... or both?
    But the banjo's playing at night are nice! I think they find playing them easier with their 6 fingers.
