Well, the person's real but it's just a made up name, see?

@Sarge McSarge, looks like you need some touring gear, there's plenty of snow still left in those photos.

@Sarge McSarge, We've just arrived in Auckland and are planning to fly out to Queenstown next weekend. the plan is to rent a camper van and make our way back to Auckland the following week.
Any ideas on the best places to visit, campsites to stay in on the way or any places to avoid?

@skichampcouk, From Queenstown there are three main options for heading north.
1 Go to Dunedin and then follow the east coast right up the Island.
2 Inland route to Christchurch via Tekapo.
3 The west coast via Wanaka and the Haast pass.
West coast is the most spectacular scenery and is also the most remote with greater distances between towns.
NZ roads are usually rather narrow and curvy so allow plenty of time. Nowhere really to avoid but do check out weather reports as conditions can change quickly and be quite different from one area to the next. For example it can be raining very heavily for days on the west coast and dry and sunny inland and on the east coast.

@Sarge McSarge, Thanks for that.
We sort of have a plan but it could change depending on the weather or if anything seems more appealing when we get there.
We're flying into Christchurch on Sunday, picking up the camper van there and stopping nearby on Sunday night. We're then going South towards Dunedin, then onto Queenstown, maybe stopping near Fox Glacier and possibly Nelson on the South Island.
We hope to stay around Hastings / Napier on the way back to Auckland.
From our very limited experience of New Zealand the weather forecasts only seem good for 2 days in advance so things could easily change.
