Landsbourough River, Take 3


The view from camp on day 1, Mt Deacon on the left.

Had another opportunity to get out on the Landsbourough. This time rowing the gear boat down. Had a group of four guys from the South Island of NZ come out. The level was about the same as the last time I was there and we had great weather, except for one night of rain. Had a longer Heli flight in from Makarora this time. Some nice looking creeks in this area. Would be great to spend some more time in this area.
Enjoy the Photos.

After a day on the river, nothing better than some wine and food to relax.
