We are on the Borland Road towards the Lake Manapouri South Arm and stopped here to read the sign and have a look around<\/p><\/div>\n

\"\"

The view towards the Hunter Mountains<\/p><\/div>\n

\"\"

We noticed there was a track going up the hill to the south-east of us and we decided to walk up there and see what is was like, Mt Burns on the left<\/p><\/div>\n

\"\"

Good decision, the views are great, looking west here<\/p><\/div>\n

\"\"

The view north<\/p><\/div>\n

\"\"

We met some hikers that were going over these mountains and then down on the other side towards Green Lake (Hut)<\/p><\/div>\n

\"\"

We have a break and just enjoy the view, after that we started to head back to the car<\/p><\/div>\n

\"\"

Me taking some photos<\/p><\/div>\n

\"\"

Surprised to see these little ponds here<\/p><\/div>\n

\"\"

But they look cool<\/p><\/div>\n

\"\"

The road just north of Mt Burns, that’s where we came from<\/p><\/div>\n

\"\"

Part of our little hike takes us through a lovely little forest<\/p><\/div>\n

\"\"

We followed the Borland Road all the way to South Arm Lake Manapouri Campsite<\/p><\/div>\n

\"\"

There is nobody here but us<\/p><\/div>\n

\"\"

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

\"\"

This is how life is supposed to be<\/p><\/div>\n

\"\"

If you need fresh water you just filter water from the lake<\/p><\/div>\n

\"\"

I soooo prefer these magical desolate places over some fancy 5 star hotel<\/p><\/div>\n

\"\"

The view west, it’s not long before sunset<\/p><\/div>\n

\"\"

Our trusty Freedom Camping Tempa tent<\/p><\/div>\n
