Skippers Canyon. No Rental vehicles allowed!

Hot Day in the hills

Mt Aurum, Skippers Road, Queenstown

This shower is more roomy than the caravan one, good if it has been a hot day and there is no stiff breeze!

This is why we have bought all lite weight camping gear this year, we want to go even higher and camp overrnight in the summer at the same level as the remaining snow, - our aim for 2011. Fitness is needed now we have the gear.

One of my favourite pictures of Peters. It is Papamoa Beach, near Mt Maunganui. There is so much happening in the photo, the more you look the more you see!

I cant get the photos in the order I want ! I get the first one and then the next then they jump to the top and flit around, still a better effort than yesterday

zigzag tracks up and down hills were a feature on our tour of private high country stations ( NZ Farms )
