Towering over 3500 metres above sea level, the Ailsa Mountains form a magnificent western backdrop to Lake Wakatipu, in the South Island's Fiordland region. The mountains are drained by the Greenstone and Caples Rivers, whose waters contain a rich resource of rainbow and brown trout and whose valleys and surrounding beech forests are popular choices for tramping and camping expeditions.

Having a wonderful time. Arrived in Te Anau yesterday evening. Will spend the day here & hope to start off for Queenstown tomorrow. All going well. Am afraid I cannot tell you definitely which day I will be back, but hope to make it on Saturday or Sunday.
