Paved section on road
Hi Laurene, Slight correction to your comment. Ayer's Rock is in Australia, We in New Zealand do not have those sections of road. We have airfields for all planes so do not be alarmed about driving on gravel roads in NZ. That is just way senic road are over here. Adds to the experience I think. Cheers from NZ
