GodleyHead has a wide view, and you can encounter some small monuments along the way, such as early vacation houses and war-time forts, but there is no charming and relaxing scenery along the way. It is a good place for a family to relax and exercise.

The Thousand-Layer Rock, also known as Thousand-Layer Rock, is a unique attraction on the west coast of the South Island. The scenery is spectacular. A huge rock shaped like Thousand-Layer Pancakes protrudes from the cliffs into the sea, or a column of sky, or connected into one piece, magnificent. Stop and watch ~ sea breezes, waves, birds singing; move and change scenery ~ ghostly work, colorful, for the beauty and strength of nature. The facilities are comprehensive. The trails, observation decks and logos of the scenic spots are set very scientifically and comprehensively. After entering the scenic spot, follow the trail and circle clockwise, you can fully view the entire scenic spot without taking any wrong roads; standing on the observation deck, the most spectacular scenery is in front of you, unobstructed; follow the guidance of the signboard, both to increase knowledge and to take reminiscent photos. Convenient transportation. From Greymouth, the car is 45 minutes north along the road, and it is very convenient to park at the gate of the scenic spot on the side of the road. Many tourists regard her as the first stop of the South Island counterclockwise roundabout tour.

Moeraki Boulders Moraki Big Pebble, located on the east coast of New Zealand's South Island, is a naturally formed geological landscape. The attractions are free to tourists from all over the world. It is easy to find the scenic spots by following the navigation along the road. Park the car in the parking lot at the door, follow the road sign and go to the beach. After a boardwalk, you can see the big boulders in the distance. The beach in the public area is also very clean. You can take off your shoes while driving the sea and enjoying the magic products from nature. The climate was not very good that day, the thick clouds blocked the sun, and the photo imaging was not very good~~~~~~ It is recommended to reach the scenic spot in the sunset (about 17:00 local time). When the seawater recedes, about 50 giant boulders will completely reveal the sea. Kindly known as the "dinosaur egg". The legend of the Moreki boulders, more than a thousand years ago, a sailing warship, Araeteuru, sank on the shore, and the melons and fruits rolled from the cabin floated here. Specialized scientists believe that the boulder formed about 65 million years ago, slowly formed by the crystallized seabed sedimentary mud, and landed here through the motion of the seabed crust. No matter which version, it is a gift from nature, whether it is a round and smooth stone body formed by seawater and sand all year round, or cracking or even breaking due to natural weathering, it is a magical sight, as the New Zealand government calls for the Environmental Protection Act. Similarly, it is not allowed to suffer artificial and intentional damage, otherwise it will face a high fine or even imprisonment! There are many well-growing flowers and plants on the return road, a shopping point, and a shoe-shine board brush. The scenic spot management is very user-friendly!

燃烧生命的小胖妞
There is such a coastal road in Melbourne, which is a paradise for self-driving travel enthusiasts. This is Ocean Road. Ocean Road was actually built to commemorate the soldiers of World War I. There were many surviving veterans involved in it at the beginning of the establishment, so it was of great significance. The 300-kilometer ocean road, which was built, also attracted many people to visit, where you can see the waves beating the beach.

Redstone can if you want to do some exercise in Wellington. You have to walk back 2 hours to see the fur seal colony scenery is beautiful, but you can have the same scenery driving along the coast. If you go to Kaikoura, you can also see fur seals in the aisles of the Kaikoura Peninsula, which is more interesting.
