NZ Further Afield, Feb 1992

These are photos from a road trip in the South Island of New Zealand: through the Lewis Pass and down into Motueka in the Nelson area, walking for several days in Abel Tasman park; then up through the Buller Gorge and down into Westland, to the Punakaiki Rocks, Hokitika, and the Fox and Franz Josef glaciers. New Zealand’s South Island is an astonishing mix of climatic conditions and ecosystems, and this trip takes in some rain forest (full of wonderful fern trees), the lovely Abel Tasman beaches, and the glaciers coming down from the high Southern Alps almost all the way to the sea in rainy Westland.
