I used to live in Whitianga and drive a bus for Intercity...When the Whangapoa road was closed ( back when it was a gravel road) due to weather I used to drive the bus through the 309... was VERY exciting😊
@@_boric I can’t find a brand name anywhere on it I’ve tried many over the years but this one fits and was specific to my vehicle I’m pretty sure I bought it from Amazon.com.au
Enjoyed that , your a natural at this
@@bobfreeman9574 appreciate the positive comment
Thanks
Glad to see you're able to drive pretty close to Castle Rock. When we visit the place a couple years back all gates were locked.
Wow amazing place 😍💚🦋🌳🌴🌿🌵
Great video, might add 309 to the to-do list for the next few weekends..... :)

That must have been a challenge back then
@@JL2OFFRD Yep. Both the Whangapoa road and 309 roads were both challenges ..especially in a bus 😬
Good watch enjoyed 😉
Thanks mate
Hey mate, im assuming you were on a solo mission? I keen to find more solo tracks
Yes solo on that one and most of my other trips
Check out some of the other videos , up until recently it has just me and my dog
Where is that dog backseat cover from. I have a collie like you I do I believe.

The name 309 arose from the "fact" that the old horse drawn coach took 3 hours and 9 minutes to get from one end to the other. Fact.
@@evanpenny348 your the first to tell us that !
Many have said it’s how many corners there are on the road but I wasn’t about to count them
What a video! What is the app that you are using?!
@@JL2OFFRD thank you I meant to say the map app haha
@@the_travellingpaws I use Gaia map app and land access website for public access areas
@@JL2OFFRD cheers mate, learning alot from your videos
@@the_travellingpaws that’s good to know thank you
I try to be as informative as possible without being boring !!!
Ninety Mile beach isnt Ninety miles long. Sooo 309 314 close enough , id not bother checking 🙂.
309 road Has 309 corners hence the name 😂 Have never confirmed this
I had heard that but wasn’t sure about it
And I didn’t count either
Driven over that road back in the 60s through to 2023 and had 314 corners last I heard never bothered to count
Next time I’ll take a passenger to count the corners
