A cloudy start of the day, Gentle<\/a> Annie on the left bottom corner, Mokihinui Domain Campground<\/a> on the right in the middle<\/p><\/div>\n

We’re doing the Charming Creek Walkway<\/a> today<\/p><\/div>\n

It’s full of old mining stuff<\/p><\/div>\n

Like these remains of some building<\/p><\/div>\n

Rusted stuff<\/p><\/div>\n

Some empty shed<\/p><\/div>\n

Very dangerous stuff!<\/p><\/div>\n

Lovely conditions for walking now<\/p><\/div>\n

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…<\/p><\/div>\n

The creek, isn’t it charming<\/p><\/div>\n

We just walked this bit, we should be getting closer to the waterfall<\/p><\/div>\n

A swing bridge, we should be safe as there’s just the two of us<\/p><\/div>\n

Ah, no, not safe, closed, of course<\/p><\/div>\n

The waterfall! It’s nice, good place for lunch too<\/p><\/div>\n

It’s all charming here<\/p><\/div>\n

The very dangerous swing bridge<\/p><\/div>\n

And we’re leaving again<\/p><\/div>\n

Once more the creek, must be lovely to swim there, if you can stand the cold water<\/p><\/div>\n

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!<\/p><\/div>\n

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.<\/p><\/div>\n

A little cave<\/p><\/div>\n
