pruning in cromwell

Today I startet pruning (gehoelzverschnitt) in the little and nice town of cromwell, at an contract which means I get 5,70$ per tree. Some new posts with pictures follow during this week.

Stay tuned !

Fresse out !

Leaving Queenstown

This is probably one of the hardest parts of my journey. I have to leave this wonderful party-town in the mountains for getting a job. But maybe I go back for the snow season.

Ferg Burger

Yesterday I probably had the best burger in my whole life at Fergburger in Queenstown. And the best thing is you just need one burger to quit the hunger.

This is a Southern Swine burger with avocado, and just awsone incredients.

Mavora Lakes Walkway

Hey people, today I present you the pictures of my last section on the Mararoa River, Mavora Lakes Walkway.

another swingbridge (booooring :))

Yesterday I was walking in the "Werdauer Wald"

South Mavora Lake

relaxing at the hut

And now my first Lord of the Rings sight The "Fangdorn Forest" muhahahaha

Mararoa River Crossing

some 4wd marks at the beach

Carey's Hut at the north Mavora Lake outlet, very nice and heaps of rabbits around there

beach in front of Carey's Hut in the afternoon

and at sunset

and the Taipo Hut with king size matresses but no table. Who cares about a table ?

Queenstown !!!

I'm now in Queenstown the world capital of adventure. You can do almost everything h ere what pushs your adrenalin level to a new high score. You just need enough money. Yesterday I was at a club and just can say wow, it's worth to live here, even if you know that in queenstown just live 11.000 people. In the next days I will upload the last tramping session. Cya

Fresse out !

Te Anau

Actually I am in Te Anau in fiordland but tomorrow I start my next 7 day section to Queenstown.

Fresse Out

Takitimu Mountains

So the last short post for today, my last section in short form because of the time and money for internet. Maybe a bit longer next time

It began with fine weather conditions

It gets worse

a bit better again

Oh a toilet and Sunshine

Just rain at the next morning, my stuff is already packed in the dryness of the toilet, just the tent is left.

Yesterday wasn't snow at the Sumit

Short break without Rain and Wind

A better next Morning

Really good day and the next hut at these nice river crossing

My biggest meal I ever head on a tour ( 1liter of food)

Otautau Motor Show

So now the pic's from the Motor show, I don't title them. I think I don't have to for the interested people.

Longwood Forest

So now the Longwood Forest Section follows after you have to wait so long to see some pictures. 

 The section goes from Riverton over Colac Bay and than trough the Longwood Range to Merrivale Road Exit. At Merrivale Rd the nice Guy (Stearne) gave me a hitchhike and so I came to Otautau for the last Weekend (but thats the next post :).

The Forest Track follows an old system of waterways for early chinese gold miners, and its after about 60 years really in a good condition in some parts which are not made of wood :P

thats such a small water tunnel when they can't do it around a hill, it's not the entrance to a mine. I checked that for you ! (NO I DIDN'T MOM, GRANDMOM ....)

Now it's the turn for an historic hunting and tramping hut and it was even the worst I ever had, A tent is a thousand times better than this  !

The hut is called Martin

Very uncomfortable wooden beds made out of some linen sacks are thrown on a "Maschendrahtzaun" between two wooden branches.

Next day I got nice views over the southcoast of the south Island

Even the clouds look really cool

A small lake on top of the Longwood Range in wetlands

And an amazing windfall tree. That's are the root's, very flat
