Takahe is one of the most high profile native
bird in NZ with just over 300 individual left, and their only wild population
left in the world is Lake Orbell in Murchison Mountains near Te Anau, Specially
Protected status conservation area. 11 years ago we had a chance to visit there
as a part of DOC's Fiorldland National Park Summer Programme. It was serene and
inspirational place and we enjoyed every moment exploring the area.
A JOURNAL OF 3,000KM TE ARAROA TRAIL, NZ: completed the North Island trail Sep to Oct 2017, and the South Island trail Apr to May 2018; fundraised $2,100 for RDWT during the walk. A TRUE JOURNEY OF AN OLD SCHOOL TRAMPER: relied on paper maps and a compass for navigation during the walk = no GPS, no smart phone apps, nothing modern & hi-techs! For own safety, rang family regularly to check updated track alerts and weather forecast. 日本語記事は英語に続いて掲載されています。
