Great Uncle Owen

We saw some magnificant rimu trees

Looking towards Mts Ruapehu and Tongariro

The tarn looked like a nice spot for lunch

And it was just that!

Now for that hill (groan!)

The mist started coming in

The track down towards Pourangki hut

and there it is - a great hut and location!

We decided to walk out via the river...okay who wants to go first? (bags not!)

GUO was like a child with a new toy

There were some cool gorges to get through (or bash around)

There were also lots of brown rocks

Climbing out of the river to Kelly Knight hut

KK hut had some hunters in residence and what a mess they'd left!

We made it into Pari stream not long after the rain came
