A group of Southland men keen on giving back to their community have completed a trek from Invercargill to Christchurch and back in two days.
But the kicker is, they did it in a tractor.
Members of the Thornbury Vintage Tractor and Implement Club wanted to raise money for the Southland Charity Hospital, and settled on a tractor trek.
Club president Fraser Pearce said they completed the 1200km journey non-stop.
