A cloudy start of the day, Gentle Annie on the left bottom corner, Mokihinui Domain Campground on the right in the middle
We’re doing the Charming Creek Walkway today
It’s full of old mining stuff
Like these remains of some building
Rusted stuff
Some empty shed
Very dangerous stuff!
Lovely conditions for walking now
This thing has been here for ages and then in more recent years they put a roof over it, I can only assume to protect it, from rusting…
The creek, isn’t it charming
We just walked this bit, we should be getting closer to the waterfall
A swing bridge, we should be safe as there’s just the two of us
Ah, no, not safe, closed, of course
The waterfall! It’s nice, good place for lunch too
It’s all charming here
The very dangerous swing bridge
And we’re leaving again
Once more the creek, must be lovely to swim there, if you can stand the cold water
The thing I keep wondering is how they get these things here, in the middle of nowhere. Brought in pieces and assembled right there? The stuff is big and heavy!
Like how would you carry something as big as that down paths like these? I can’t imagine how it was done, they didn’t have choppers back then.
A little cave
A little video of today
Our trip from today, from Mōkihinui to the Charming Creek Walk to somewhere on the way to Nelson
And a bonus video from when we almost hit a deer!
That walk was in such a beautiful area.
