Holiday – Day 15 – Homestead Track

A sunny morning at the Homestead Campsite

Though clouds already start drifting in

The Hawkdun Range where I was flying not that long ago

Quite a strong wind today as well

But not strong enough to not fly the drone

Some drone footage

The St Bathans Range

What a lovely little campsite

We decide to walk the Homestead Track

The Hawkduns again, and Rachel

Looking north towards what glider pilots familiar with Omarama call Hugo’s Elevator, Omrama is behind the mountains pretty much straight ahead

Great colours

Manuherikia River East Branch, with a 4WD you can make it from here to Omarama, but it’s got to be a proper off road 4WD, it’s too demanding for my X-Trail, unfortunately

Mutton Creek

We are really lucky to be here today with this light

Mutton Creek again

St Bathans Range in the far distance

On the way back to the campsite, nearly there

More clouds again, it’s dark one minute

And the next minute you are reminded of Fields of Gold

Rachel is getting better and better at crossing streams without getting her feet wet

This is the kind of track (at least the part on the right) that I would not like to drive in my X-Trail, just too demanding
