On the reload to Lyell, another lovely piece of country
Looking for the cemetery on a path with landslip warnings....
.... and showing just how destructive the land slips can be, but it was a lovely walk through the forests on the old Ghost and then old coach road, with river crossings and no one else to disturb the peace.
From Lyell to Buller Gorge, a tourist must stop and actually another great place to stop and walk around, learn more history and enjoy nature.
David standing on a rock in the middle of the Gorge, which is covered with water when the rains come
The height reached by the water from the river water in wet years. Note it is raining again.
The bridge across the Gorge, which is so deep, you can’t really see the water until you are on the edge of it.
After that, a search for another campsite suitable for wet conditions!
