A nudist camp in the snow and ice would create some new non binary types. Lake Rotoiti always a fav spot and then off for lunch or dinner at the Alpine Lodge. Finish that off with a single malt by the fire. Perfect 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Perfect Looking at that fire maybe it'll be a sausage sizzle, haven't been up that way for years, remember going to the poo poo springs, excuse the spelling ,as a child, quite stunning place,and feeding eels somewhere many moons ago, probably nowhere near your location, did get a glimpse of an article the other day, talking about the insurance for various areas up that way, didn't sound that good, crickey if they keep increasing the premiums no one be able to afford it, tough enough now, I better not wey into the the non binary debate, I think next time I'll tell my mate, I can go I've got nothing on.

Fairly confident the eels you're referring to Shad or next to and under the peer at Lake Rotoiti. You could almost walk on them. Fairly common to see trout nearby as well. They are well fed by tourists etc. There is a webcam at the lake that we usually have a quick gander at before heading out there. Prefer to go during the week as it does get busy on the weekends. https://www.takeabreak.co.nz/webcams/590/lake_rotoiti_webcam We take the kayaks out and have a mate with a jetboat so we get to see it in all it's glory. Our neighbours have a batch there that they very generously offer to us whenever we desire it. Te Waikoropupu Springs on the other side of the Takaka hill from Nelson heading toward Collingwood. It's a special place we take friends and family to when they come down for a visit. My wife also manages the top of the South from Kaikoura through Marlborough, Nelson, Motueka and down the West Coast from Westport, Greymouth to Hokitika so we get to enjoy a lot of beautiful sights you'd be familiar with. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Beautiful photos, such a scenic part of your area, the eels I remember were in a smaller creek, and an older lady was doing the showing and we feed em on a stick, many moons ago, must revisit the area, 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Plenty of beautiful sights to take in. If you get the chance to revisit I recommend you do. We enjoy exploring the top of the South when time permits. We recently went to Okiwi Bay and French Pass. Hadn't been there since the 1980's and loved every minute. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
