Terawhiti Station is a 12,000 acres farm that sits on the remote south-east coast of Wellington.  It's remote enough to swallow cellphone signals, and yet it's only 25 minutes from the heart of Wellington.

We were invited to preview and test-drive the new Chrysler Jeep.  This trip took us to a part of Wellington that we had not explored on any 4WD trips before.
