Te Anau, New Zealand

Satan's spawn...

Woke to lots of rain, so the 5am fishing expedition was cancelled. We packed up and headed out to Te Anau, the gateway to Milford Sound and a refreshing break from Satan's spawn; the vicious sand-fly... We went to the visitor info, before finding a campsite and a nice hot shower. They are...

South of the South Island - Te Anau thru The Catlins

The south of the South Island...vistas extraordinaire! We saw absolutely stunning scenery as we walked tracks, drove back-roads and cruised inland waters in and around Te Anau, Milford Sound and the Catlins. The summer crowds had long deserted Te Anau, leaving its lakefront and...
