Raining in the Mt Cook area, but sunny in the plain. Headed to Twizel river for a walk along the bank and fly fishing.
The
white gravel bank and multicolour Lupine flowers are a welcoming sight.
Made it enjoyable to walk and sit along the river, with panoramic view
of mountains in the distance.
After trying a few fake fly lures , settled on a small one that seemed to tickle the trouts most. Caught and released 4 trouts.
In the late afternoon, did the last short hike in Mt Cook NP, The Governor’s Bush Track.
It is inside the hill that is covered with native forest, quite noticeable among the barren mountains around.
From the outside it looks like a homogeneous tree covered slope, but walking on the path is
like wandering inside a botanical garden. Full of different species of
lichens , mosses, ferns, and bushes with small leaves and small flowers.
A true temperate rainforest, totally unexpected and so beautiful.
