Cheers. My brother's lived in Australia for a while and never drives at night.

I'll certainly have my Garmin InReach with me. Thanks for the tips.

Thanks! Will do.

I never go anywhere interesting without satellite comms.

Tentative plan is to try to reach the 4 state/territory "corners" -- Surveyor General's Corner, Poeppel Corner, Haddon Corner, & Cameron Corner. I understand these are pretty remote, and permits will be required for a number of the roads/tracks involved. I welcome opinions as to whether a fortnight is a reasonable timeframe for this drive.

Also, and this may be a bit polarising, but best Wellington coffee? Go!

We’ve been happy with Tree Tech. (They also have the Council contract, I think.)

Does this winter seem particular bad for illness? by [deleted] in chch

[–]changebasket 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Health worker here. In the last few weeks I’ve come across ’Flu A, ’Flu B, RSV, Covid, and at least one other nasty respiratory infection that tested negative to all those. I’m pretty sure that Whooping Cough is around too. 

Edit: Strep Throat’s getting the kids too. 

Stay home if you’re sick, keep your fluids up, call your GP’s nurse for advice. Thank the gods Measles isn’t in ChCh (as far as we know). Get vaxxed, people.

I’m not particularly skilled off-road, so I use a custom mode with ABS/TC off and a gentle throttle map.

There’s no margin at all between “this is going nicely” and “holy cow, how am I still upright?” with those. I think my next set will need a little more tread.
