From the Driver's Seat: Hokonui Hills

RD Petroleum diesel tanker on a gravel road behind a mob of sheep being moved in the Hokonui Hills, Southland

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 Steven, held up (in the best way) in the Hokonui Hills.

Driver: Steven

Route/Location: Hokonui Hills, Southland

Delivery: Diesel

Steven came around a bend on this gravel road to find a mob of sheep being moved along ahead of him, one of the more classic rural roadblocks, and a good reason to slow right down and wait it out. Runs through the Hokonui Hills mean sharing the road with farm traffic as much as anything else, and a bit of patience usually goes a long way.

It's a good reminder that no two rural deliveries look quite the same, sheep included.
