We did a couple of great walks here, one that took us across 3 suspension bridges, and the weather was pretty good so we had some realy clear views of Mt Cook, the highest mountain in Australasia. Also saw a peregrine quite close up, which we were v pleased about- very rare! There were some huge glacial erratics here and some very prominent lateral moraines too. I should have studied Geography at school!
On our way to Dunedin today we stopped at Moeraki to see these famous boulders on the beach. It's fascinating how they came about; very basically, they formed around organic matter, such as sea animals and have been exposed due to erosion of the cliffs. Quite amazing!
