Good first impressions. View from airport of The Remarkables and Lake Wakatipu.

Lake Wakatipu with Tree. The Remarkables or "The Cut and Paste Mountains", as used everywhere in The Lords of the Rings as back drop.

Nice try. Old One disguising itself as a tree. Kawarau Gorge, used in Lord of the Rings for the "Pillars of the Kings".

Clouds are here - lets go somewhere else. Cameron Flats.

The Gates of Haast, sounds quite close to Hastur if you ask me. Thunder Creek falls one of many waterfalls hanging around in Haast Pass.

Bruce Bay. Franz Josef Glacier. I assume you can work out which is which.

Mapourika Lake.

Hokitika Gorge, worthwhile side trip even if 70Km round trip. Views from TranzAlpine Train from Greymouth to Christchurch.

Christchurch Gondola overlooking Banks Peninsula. Views from TranzCoastal Train from Christchurch to Picton. Picton Harbour.

Hells Gate where they take littering seriously. Anyone for a dip?

Huka Falls, Lake Taupo - still illegal to canoe over.

Maunganui beach with an interesting native on it.

View of Auckland central from Mount Victoria. Rangitoto Volcano hence known as "Na Na I got to the top first Volcano".
