That's what I'm talking about!
The Last Supper (breakfast, actually)
Feeling tough on the boat trip
Crossing Lake Te Anau to the start of the walk
Whoops, here comes the weather
No turning back now
Lake Te Anau
First swing bridge
Walking done for the day
Vegetation around Clinton Hut
Sun sets on the first day
Watch out for keas!
Our fellow trampers
Camp cuisine
Evening entertainment
Raring to go on day two
Following the Clinton River
The sun tries to break over the mountains
They measure annual rainfall in metres around here
Demented bandicoot
Where we're headed
The road goes ever on
Many bridges to cross
Sweaty work
Hmmm, nice
The climb to Mintaro Hut
G-Man bags us the lower bunks
Kea-proofing
Day 3 -- the biggie -- started before dawn
Taking a breather on the zigzag up to Mackinnon Pass
We rock
Kings of the mountain
View from the top
Oh, yeah
OK, let's head down the other side
Gee, hope it doesn't rain!
Da boys
Nothing's gonna stop us now...
... except for our quaking legs
The G-Man walks towards Sutherland Falls
Soaked to the bone
Compound blood blisters call for drastic measures
We reach Dumpling Hut utterly buggered
Dinner of champions
The heavens opened overnight, and we were crossing crotch-deep creeks three abreast with linked arms for safety. Here's a swollen MacKay Falls
With 18km between us and the 2pm boat, it was head down and bum up. Except for this quick Whittaker's break under cover
All smiles at walk's end
The G-Man's first genuine smile in four days
Hot shower + clean clothes + champagne = priceless
Dave does Russell Crowe
Bluff oysters at Fishbone . Definitely not tramping food.
G-Man gets his hot chips
THE song of the tramp. Ha! Ha! Ha! Ha!
