Looking back to Golden Bay at the start of the Abel Tasman tramp

Cape Farewell Spit - 15 miles distant

A few beach views the tramp is famous for

Totaranui Bay

same bay, this time looking back the other way

and another beach!

Torrent Bay - with markers indicating the route - twas low tide so even I managed this route unscathed!

More beaches!

Abi's place pre-Jon!

My place!

And looking the other way just for good measure!

End of the Abel Tasman tramp - called Sandy Bay for some reason!

View of Picton with the Queen Charlotte Sound extending away to the right. The Snout Walkway runs along the ridge in shade in the middle of the picture.

Looking across the Sound from mid-way along the Snout Walkway

View from the end of the Snout Walkway looking down Queen Charlotte Sound

And looking back towards Picton.

Perhaps "Stu's lookout" wasn't my place after all!!
