http://www.newzealandtravelinsider.com/scenic-drives/drive-ahuriri-conservation-park-new-zealand.htm - This New Zealand scenic drive video takes you on a journey up Ahuriri Valley to the Ben Avon wetlands from State Highway 8 via Birchwood Road. You'll see mountains, a river, tussock grasslands, and wetland scenery. This isn't quite Lord of the Rings scenery [http://www.newzealandtravelinsider.com/scenic-drives/lord-of-the-rings-scenery-hakatere-potts-road-new-zealand.htm], but it comes close.
