16: Manawatu River

Manawatu River with flood protection work on bank

A summer's day beside the river- not as peaceful as it appears- those white spots on the river are 'white caps' blowing upstream as the wind is so strong!

  5. What does it mean to plug in the car Michèle? Is that something to stop it freezing up in the radiator etc?
