Ski Car (79K)24 August 1998
Chauffeur Kim waiting patiently while I get a shot of the car and all it's ski attachments (before it gets too filthy).
Kea Bird (73K)25 August 1998
There were a few of these Kea birds scavenging at The Remarks (we saw some later at Treble Cone too). They are apparently a great menace as they like to remove the rubber windscreen surrounds and wiper blades from parked cars!
Shotover Jet (78K)26 August 1998
One of the Shotover jets beginning a 360 degree spin near it's jetty.
Pre Shotover Rob (72K)26 August 1998
Me looking forward to a wet and wild ride!
Shotover Kim (74K)26 August 1998
Kim having just had one.
Shotover Rob (76K)26 August 1998
Just checking what's left of my hair is still there.
NZ London Bus (74K)26 August 1998
The good old Route Master gets everywhere... think he took a wrong turn on Bow Road?
Rob at Cardrona (82K)27 August 1998
Here I am taking a well earned break after one of our the many runs in the basin.
Lake Wanaka (75K)27 August 1998
On the shores of Lake Wanaka at dusk.
Treble Cone Panorama (83K)
28 August 1998
The panorama from close to half way up Treble Cone (just above the Moro six man chair). That's Lake Wanaka below and you can see the road we came up on (the only one here!) snaking around in the bottom left corner.
Rob at Treble Cone (74K)28 August 1998
Me trying to explain what a great view it is (when I'm not there anyhow).
Lake Wanaka (64K)28 August 1998
Another view from the shores of Lake Wanaka, close to the Edgewater Resort. You can see the shore is covered in rocks and pebbles... great place for skimming stones.
Lake Wanaka Wildlife (97K)28 August 1998
Some of the wildlife to be seen here on lake Wanaka.
Bridge Sunset (74K)31 August 1998
Caught this great view of the sun setting behind the Harbour Bridge on the ferry home.
