Day 34 - Sun 22 April - Arrowtown to Mossburn We said our goodbyes to Rob and Wilkie who are going on the Nightcaps to stay with Wilk's brother. We headed south alongside the lake and stopped for lunch at Kingston, down where the old Kingston Flyer was. Then it was on to Mossburn to find our POP for the next 2 nights. The owner is away but we can still stay beside the house. The very friendly farm cat joined us before we had even got the caravan legs down and...

Day 33 - Sat 21 April - Arrowtown Festival Campsite Woohoo - it's a fine day! We gathered to board our vintage buses to go down to Arrowtown. What a fun ride!

Day 31 - Thur 19 April - 12 Mile Delta to Arrowtown Festival Campsite We left 12 Mile Delta after lunch having spent the morning bun making and baking.

Dump stations in the Queenstown/Frankton are not caravan-friendly! Stuart and family will be in Arrowtown late on Friday. Our ...

Day 30 - Wed 18 April - 12 Mile Delta Wow - stunning views of snow covered mountains around the campsite as we had our breakfast this morning! We went up the road to Glenorchy and the views were amazing all along the lakeshore. After a bit of a looksee around Glenorchy we headed up the road to the start of the Routeburn Track. Our plan was to walk to Lake Sylvan and have a picnic lunch there. What a beautiful walk through the bush and the reward after 40 plu...
