Molesworth Station

The gates at the Cob Cottage in the top eastern corner and the Acheron Accommodation House at the southern end open on Labour Weekend until Easter.

Ross to Greymouth Part 1

In a week we have covered a lot of ground and frankly it's daunting to try and cram it into a short post so I'll put it into two. Cell phone and internet connection  has been patchy.

We spent a bit of time … Continue reading Not Friday →

Central Otago

It's been a lazy week moving through the wonderful scenery of Otago. Steep mountains covered in low brown  tussock and grasses. We left Glenorchy at the north end of Lake Wakatipu and travelled down to Queenstown where we filled up with diesel and emptied our black and grey water tanks in a busy petrol station. … Continue reading Central Otago →
