View of Codfish Island,on Stewart Is.Ernest Is and Mason Bay in foreground.
Rakiura National Park
Keeping away from the maddening crowd as much as possible,we headed down to Doughboy Bay.Paradise.Watched kiwi and did a little rubbish collecting.Saw not a soul for a week.Back-tracked to Mason Bay(and people) and eventually tramped back to Oban,arriving Christmas morning.A 14 day tramp we`d recommend.Next time,we`ll arrange an airdrop to reduce our pack weights.The hunters`huts on the island are available to trampers,when not booked by hunters.DOC are happy to advise on these,but these huts can give you more options.We always pack a tent,just in case.
