Great Barrier Island transport options


Because we flew in, we hired a little car to get around. All the hire cars are 4WD.


And this is why - this is our driveway, 2 km long, and very very steep. It seems like people all share driveways, so several houses come off this one, way off into the bush.


This remnant of a track looks like it used to be their driveway before the shared thing started working for them. Even more scary than the one that exists now!


And I guess if you don't have road access at all, then you put your ute on a barge, go home for lunch while you wait for the tide to come in and the barge to float.


I think the Barrier is a haven for boaties in summer. So here is wharf number 2. There is a bigger wharf that the ferry comes in on. And another one too. Plus all the private jetties and such for boat only access places. More wharves than roads almost.
