Hey Everyone 2 months on the West Coast is complete. What an isolated spot South Westland is which we explore in this adventure. We find a couple of great Freedom camping spots we share with you. We given some live crayfish we cook up, and as always do some exploring in the local area.
Lake Matheison is our first stop, which has beautiful reflections of Mt Tasman and Aoraki Mt Cook, we get such a beautiful day to explore in this area, before we continue south to Lake Paringa and then onto the Blue River.
We find more good stop offs as we head into Haast, stopping off at Ships cove, and then driving to the End of the Road at Jackson Bay.

The store in Haast had very limited fresh food or bread when we called in.
We've just arrived in Queenstown, had such lovely weather the last few days on the way down.

It's great to see the native Kahikatea pine forest at Lake Matheson. We need to plant more of them around NZ as well as the other native pine trees such as Rimu, Tanekaha, Libocedrus Plumosa, and Manoao. It's a shame most of the old monoculture Kahikatea pine forests on both islands were cut down and cleared for timber, settlements, and farms.
I personally think pine trees look better and have the chance to stand out on their own in monoculure forests just like the native monoculture red beech forests, rather than being planted and partly hidden among shorter, thick, and bushy trees. It also makes it easier for people to trek through.
