Manapouri

 Driving back up to Te Anau was quick as we didn't have anywhere else to stop. Had a pie from the pie shop I had spied on our town walk two nights before and then headed towards the beginning of the Kepler track. What a delight. Mosses, ferns, bird life and lots of fallen trees to climb over. We lunched at Brod Bay with all the locals who had come over on boats for a barbeque and then walked back again. There must be a women's race on soon as a number of runners decked out for a long run past us in both directions. We landed in Manapouri the night. Quaint camping ground - old but clean - and lots of personality as well as heaps of tuis, sparrows, kereru. Looks like the Aussie opossum which the camping ground is named after doesn't live here anymore.
