Kowhai tree, Lake Rotoroa
Nelson Lakes: Kowhai tree, Lake Rotoroa
This is on the lakeshore just below Sabine Hut. The hut is very nice and quite modern, and it even has mesh screens to keep out the sandflies. This is important as they are a swarming menace. We got up at 4:30 am to head up Mt Cedric the next day, and they attacked us as we put our boots on in the darkness outside.
