Hawks Crag

In the lower Buller Gorge the road runs beneath a huge rock overhang that was cut back to make room for the highway. It is a short, free photo stop on the drive between Murchison and Westport. The gorge also holds the Buller Gorge Swingbridge, the longest in the country.

Good to know

• Pull over only where there is a safe space
• Cars and campervans fit, but watch for large trucks at the overhang
