Settlers Motor Camp
Home of the annual 'beach hop' (vintage cars, bikes, rock n roll weekend).
Would not accept vehicles over 7 metres. Camp owner complains about any noise from the local hall.

Buller Gorge Swingbridge
Awful, scary going across.
Better coming back alone while others waited so as not to 'rock the bridge' and terrify me more! Would be great fun for younger, confident people.
