The bridge over the Clutha River in Millers Flat

Near Mt Teviot on the Lake Onslow Road, halfway between Millers Flat and Lake Onslow

Lake Onslow

Lake Onslow turned out to not really be a place to camp but it was defnitely worth a visit

With some beautiful views

Like this one

There are but a few batches here

I wonder what the people who own the batches would actually do here, fishing? Enjoying the solitude?

Rachel enjoying the water

This is the start of the Teviot River, on the western most part of Lake Onslow, the dam doesn’t seem to be used for the generation of power

One more look at Lake Onslow before we continue the road to the north-east

Loganburn Ford Road

The Taieri River

A stunning view

Convergence clouds

Near Styx Creek we noticed these old buildings and decided to check them out

The building is actually occupied, someone is living there, nice place!

We’re now on the road south towards the Loganburn Reservoir, this is the view north

On the Old Dunstan Rd, looking west

We have made it to the Logan Burn Reservoir, there is absolutely nobody else around for many many miles, it’s beautiful here!

Some aerial views

That’s us there

Beats any Top 10 Holiday Park!

We take a little walk and visit the actual Monkey Island

The view from Monkey Island

Fiordland in the distance across the Te Waewae Bay

Me, descending from Monkey Island

It turned out we could access the beach by car as well, so we did!

It’s a beautiful beach

And one of the very few beaches in NZ with car access

After that we had a long drive to the Clutha River, Birch Island to be precise

Time to get the comfy chair out and relax a bit
