Gidday

Been away for a coupla days. Took me caravan up to the top of Lake Benmore. Fairly bloody good coupla days too. Like woke up to this from our caravan door.

That mountain peak in the centre of the picture is Mount Cook, our highest mountain (12349ft) at least up until a few years ago when a bit fell off the top.

Like I mean even if I didn't catch and trout it sure was fun trying with a view like:-

They had some good rain a few days before and a bridge was washed out so didn't actually get to where we were heading but I am please cos it wasn't as good as where we ended up.

Take a look at Benmore: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Benmore_Dam

And the old Waitaki dam:

And by the way, iffin you you don't believe me when I said the sight we woke up to here is proof, me little old truck and caravan.

Cheers

Jack

I love to look at the scenery down that way.

The second by commerce, which is generally cheating. The third is by agriculture, the only honest way, wherein man receives a real increase of the seed thrown into the ground, in a kind of continual miracle. Ben Franklin
