Helpfulness
Cardrona Adventure Park is a petrol heads paradise run by Ian Soanes, a world renowned stuntman originally from South Africa, and no small petrol head himself.
Anyone can drive one of the several very large monster trucks or quad bikes around an obstacle course purpose built on a farming property.
Even my 12 year old got a chance to drive the "Schoolbully" monster truckj even though she has never driven anything before in her life.
The guys that run the show take good care to prevent accidents and are always on hand to 'steer' you out of trouble.
It can be a very expensive day out but the kids loved the feel and smell of raw horsepower at thgeir control.

No one would know that you were actually in New Zealand if you showed them any of the pictures that you've taken in the town of Cadrona.
Even the petrol pump, sited at the left of the Cadrona Hotel, looks like it has been there since the 1940s.

Driving into Cadrona, Jac and I were sucked into what seemed like a town where time stood still. I was half expecting to see men in cowboy hats trodding down the street. We did not see a single soul on the streets and the house that we came across seemed deserted.
