Fiona grew up and thrived in the splendid isolation, and wouldn't have it any other way. Now Fiona and her husband Guy are running the station and raising their two small children in this wonderful but challenging environment.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eAs the crow flies, Muzzle Station is not too far from Kaikoura. But it's not easy to get there. First, the truck—and it has to be a truck—must make it across the Clarence River. If the river is swollen or in flood, there will be no journey. Once safely across, there are more than 25 smaller river crossings and a 1370-metre-high mountain range to get across. If all goes well it takes three hours to make the drive, but it is often blocked with rockfalls and slips, not to mention snow, or rain that turns the track's clay surface to mud, rendering it completely undriveable.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThere is another option.
