All together now..Orokanui

Was totally impressed with Orokanui Sanctuary. Gorgeous birds and Trees.Was the best seeing a Kaka with Gaz after all his stories from Stewart Island. Gary fairly tired after his day out. Been a rest day today. Sleeping in and recovering after his cross country excursion. For those who have yet to visit this place, I recommend it. Kat

This was a fun day out with all the family, lots of laughs, a few wrong corners which required some backtracking up some fairly steep sections. Fortunately we had some good horsepower with Zach. We saw plenty of birds but didn't get many photos. I has away from the hospice for 4 hours and used a whole oxygen bottle. This trip was back to back with Tutoi Early Settlers the day prior. So really stretching myself and extremely tired when I got back. Decided to have a couple of rest days to recharge batteries. - Gary

"Do you think this is the right way?"
"Oops Back we go"


"Shhh go quiet.... bang, scrape, laugh, skid"
Being quiet for Tuatara's

"A Kiwis been here?"
