From the Driver's Seat: Waiau River, Hanmer Springs

RD Petroleum fuel tanker parked above the Waiau River near Hanmer Springs, North Canterbury

Every Thursday, we're handing the camera over to the people who know our roads best, our drivers. Each week one of the team sends in their favourite shot from a delivery, and we share it here along with a bit about where it was taken and what they were up to.

This week's shot comes from Chris, on a rural run above the Waiau River, near Hanmer Springs.

Driver: Chris

Route/Location: Waiau River, Hanmer Springs

Delivery: Fuel transport

Chris pulled over on a high point above the river for this one, with the Waiau winding through farmland below and snow-capped peaks holding on in the distance. Runs through this part of North Canterbury take drivers along some genuinely striking backcountry, with the odd river crossing and gravel stretch thrown in for good measure.

It's a good reminder of just how varied the terrain gets on the way to keeping rural properties and farms across the region fuelled up.
