This has to be one of the best camping spots in NZ
We explore a bit in the area
Lots of these plants here
Morgans Island, I’ve got to kayak there some time
Interesting skies
Beautiful area
Whilst driving around we get to this place, we want to go left, see what’s up there, but hold on, there’s a sign!
Ok, clearly this sign means you can’t go past this (locked anyway) fence, right?
Surely it’s not meant for this road, or they would have put in perpendicular to that road and preferrably to the left of the road?
Well, the road lea to this fish farm and we were told off for driving on a road we were not allowed to drive on, as per the sign. Kiwis and signs… it’s a bad combination, always open to interpretation,never clear
And where I was able to drive this road towards Lake Tekapo in earlier years that too is now forbidden, more and more and more restrictions, if it isn’t farmers closing everything off it’s power companies, not good
On the west side of Lake Tekapo, looking back to Lake Tekapo (the village that goes by the same name as the lake)
Looking east towards the Two Thumbs Range
A friendly sign by a farmer, they are so nice
About as far north as we could go on this side of Lake Tekapo
Cass River
We ended up at Lake McGregor, it looks cold and it is cold, very strong wind too
Lake Alexandrina, way less wind here
Strange combination here of old run down batches and flash new ones like this one
Because of some fire hazard we can’t cook at our tent, we must cook here, which is as good as impossible because of the wind that comes from all directions, last time we’ll camp here, that’s for sure
