Was driving a hire car somewhere near Wanaka on south island a few years ago.

Roads over there were laid on the terrain surface, as if they never heard of cut and fill , just lay bitumen on top of the ground.

This road was like a continuing roller coaster in a straight line..

Was right on the verge of the snow line at that time of year.

For miles, every 100 yards or so, went up on crest and it snowed on screen, then went down and it turned to rain, then up and snow, then down rain, etc for half an hour.

The south island of NZ has fascinating scenery.
