From the Driver's Seat: Cheeky Kea at Treble Cone

Three kea perched on top of an RD Petroleum diesel tanker at Treble Cone Ski Area, with mountains and a lake in the background

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 Cole, up at Treble Cone, with some unexpected company.

Driver: Cole

Route/Location: Treble Cone Ski Area, Wānaka

Delivery: Diesel

Cole had just parked up for a diesel delivery when a trio of kea decided the top of the tanker made a good perch, cheeky as always, and clearly curious about the new arrival on the mountain. Anyone who's spent time in the high country knows kea have no shortage of confidence, and this lot were no exception.

It's one of the perks of a job that takes drivers right up into the mountains, the odd close encounter with some of the South Island's most curious locals.
