Left photo - on the hour long ferry
journey from Bluff (on the South Island) over to Halfmoon Bay
(on Stewart Island.). Right photo - in Halfmoon Bay. You can
just about see the rain on the water - 10 seconds earlier it
was much more obvious. I'd have taken a photo of it too apart
from some chap desperate to talk photography with me - and he
wouldn't shut up! So I was really impressed when I first found
he was staying in the same hotel as me and then even more so
when I found he was in the room next to me! |

Photos of the beaches on Ulva Island. This was the small island where I spent 7 hours wandering around trying to photo as many birds as possible - those photos are in the next section. |

Two photos of kiwi! Well, the only ones I took on this "twilight" tour. We set off after sunset on a 45 minute boat journey - that's when the left photo was taken. The right photo was taken at about midnight after I realised seeing kiwi, never mind photoing them was going to be unlikely. We eventually saw one at 2am and got back to Halfmoon Bay at 315am! Some twilight that was! |

Final day - I did 10km each way of the famous tramp on Stewart Island. This bridge was as unsteady to walk on as it appears on the photo! |

Left photo - on a beach close to Halfmoon Bay - getting all arty! Right photo is on the quayside at Halfmoon Bay - the building looking like something off Dallas in the middle of the photo is the hotel I stayed in - at 13 quid a night it was good value even if the room I was in was over the locals bar which only shut at 4am(ish)! |
