My Trip to New Zealand (3 photos) 7 views :: Chris Chafer (sandpiper2) (9914)
In late April 2008 I visited Steve (LordPotty) on the south island of New Zealand. I went there to catch up with my tans-Tasman friend and to visit the dense rainforests of the west coast. These forests harbour some amazingly beautiful fungi and was very keen to see the blue entoloma. I achieved my goal and returned to Australia with many fond memories of my journey, the great fungi, glaciers, vistas and unbelievable hospitality provided by Steve and his partner Kay and her lovely children.

At an average elevation of 900m above sea level, G.N.P is situated on the northern extremity of the New England Tablelands. Roughly 225 million years of powerful acts of nature have created the foundations for G.N.P.
This is a stunning place well worth several tips to take in all its beauty, and I hope you enjoy this visit.
Sunset is one of the most beauitful times of the day in the mountains. It is when the peaks around or the clouds are red, and you can see the alpenglow. For some reason Sunsets are Redder in the Mountains, not sure why.
