35 knot gusts
A deceptively soft image of the raging weather. Hiding behind a large tussock, sheltering from the wind and building rain, trying to hold the camera down.
Talk on the way down was that someone read that to get the shot you must get out in the weather.
Well …we were certainly out in the weather. Had to be! Shots from inside the car were out as it wouldnt stop being buffetted!
