This is Jerusalem (yes, all of it), which is a small historic settlement on the banks of the Whanganui River. The road to Jerusalem is extremely narrow, winding and subjected to regular flooding and slips...but rather nice and quite scenic despite this being the season for repairing all those slips and washouts.

@tracie8266 Thanks very much - it's a very nice, if somewhat difficult drive @deborah63 I know, I know...it's all a bit off putting really. I don't do colour very well though so there probably won't be much more. @maggiemae Definitely not on the main drag, not by a long shot
@golftragic Those are all underground, and thanks :) @dibzgreasley Unnaturally green if you ask me - the rest of the country is quite brown at the moment. Mind you, about 5 metres to the left there's a bloody great big river. @salza There was not even a hint of a banjo... @barb_b Thanks very much - I'm not very good at colour...
@365projectorgsebgritt Thanks very much :) @blueberry1222 That's one way of putting it... @hermann Thanks very much - they delivered on that promise too... @tonygig Thank you very much :) @susale It was certainly very quiet. @vignouse I'm uncomfortable with this shot - I can't get my head around colour and feel that I don't "do it" very well. Perhaps I should practice. @mastermek Only $500 a night, cash only ;)
Not your usual, but I like it, looks an interesting place so i googled it and see it was home to a hippy commune back in the early 70's. You are not thinking of reviving it , sort of a peace love and skulls type of thing..
@jack4john I don't think I could deal with all the hessian under garments... @kwind Thanks very much :) @overalvandaan It's very peaceful and would probably be worth a look around

@julzmaioro It's worth the drive just for the stunning scenery

A place we'd explore if we were traveling there!
@kwind Thanks very much :)

@888rachel It was until I got there
it didn't burn down as you passed did it?
