From Down Under in New Zealand -
We traveled from Fox Glacier up to Greymouth on the mouth of the Grey River. Good name for the town I guess even though not very creative. This was a continuation of the Highway 6 drive often called the most scenic highway in New Zealand. Following are a few pictures. Left click for a larger image.
Bird - don't know what kind.
Pukeko - pretty common in NZ, about 10 inches tall.
Mount Cook and Mount Tasman - beautiful mountains, Sir Edmund Hillary and practiced climbing Cook to ready for his Everest climb.
A cemetery in Greymouth.
