On to Nelson

NZ's longest swinging bridge

The Tasman Sea really is turquoise.

Buller Gorge is our avenue out of Westport.  It is a scenic reserve with shorter mountains, and lacking the waterfalls from the southern part of  New Zealand, but it has the longest swinging bridge in New Zealand, 110 meters. 
It is in the area of Murchison, an area devastated by earthquakes, but also known for its gold mining.  Today's picnic was at a lookout where we had a 360 degree view of the surrounding mountains, some some snow covered, and rolling hills below us.
