The Pigroot SH85
Heather Auckram
Headed over the Pigroot to St Bathans. Parked at the free camp at the domain under a shady tree with a hot 32 degree breeze blowing through the van.

Loki dog enjoyed poking his nose into rabbit holes on the rugby field with the quirky goal posts.


The Pigroot, SH85, runs from Palmerston on the coast via Ranfurly to Alexandra in Central Otago. There was a town and a pub called Pigroot during the 1870s and 80s. St Bathans is a 12km side journey.
