Denniston & Napoleon Hill - Exploring NZ’s Wild West Coast with Aussie Land Rovers
Join me on a 4WD overlanding trip along New Zealand’s rugged West Coast.
In this adventure, I take my Land Rover Discovery down to meet up with two Aussie Land Rover Perenties visiting from across the ditch. We explore the historic Denniston Plateau, tackle Napoleon Hill, and I squeeze in a bit of solo exploring along the way too.
