The New Zealand Traffic Jam

It's a uniquely New Zealand moment. Traffic comes to a stop on a highway to let a herd of sheep passs through.

It happened to us between Wanganui and Raetihi. On a steep mountainous strech of Highway 4, a man on an ATV carrying four sheep dogs in a crate on the back warned us to slow down. Just around the bend, hundreds of sheep took over the roadway. Dogs were barking and herding the sheep up the hill to another pen.

They make postcards of these things!
