    13 hours would get you from the Wellington CBD to Cape Reinga, which is as far north as you can get on public roads. 8 would get you past Auckland.

      Indeed.

      Going further south, to Red Rocks or even to Island Bay, makes the cape 14 hrs away. Basically the longest trip on “nice” roads in the North Island. Could make it 14 1/2 hrs if you take it to Cape Palliser; but that is basically the limit in NZ.

      I’ll say it again, FFS Oz is huge.
