Molesworth Station, run by the Department of Conservation and Landcorp, consists of four pastoral leases which were surrendered to the Crown around the time of the Second World War having been decimated by rabbits and too many sheep. It's now home to around 10,000 beef cattle with merino stud farms on the fringes.
The 180km gravel road across the station is only open for about three months each year and we were lucky enough to be in the area at the right time. We enjoyed a stunning drive across dusty ranges dotted with wild flowers and bisected by gravel rivers.
