After a stormy night in which I was afraid a few times we’d be blown away we are greeted by a grey sky, it’s going to be a bit of a boring day

We drove via Clarks Junction, Middlemarch and Ranfurly back towards the St Bathans area where we are having a walk

I wonder what the weather down at Omarama is, Omarama means Place of Light and it’s right there in the distance, that little sliver of light, how fitting!

Me

It starts to drizzle and we head back, we stay once again at the Homestead Campsite

After another nippy night it’s time to soak up some sun and have some breakfast, right next to the Clutha River

Our camping spot

Looking downstream

Lots of sprinklers on Raes Junction Road

A friendly cow

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 definitely 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!

A little video of today
