Starvation

Starvation.

Just above the top bridge in the Otira Gorge are two bluffs round which the road makes sharp turns. The upper of these bluffs is known as Starvation, for here the coaches used to stop to collect fares, and anyone who could not pay was left at this, the bleakest and windiest stop on the road. It is also known as Windy Point.
