Buller River
In: Photographic
23 May 2010Last week I went out on a photo expedition, determined to get some good shots of a block of larch about 70km south of Nelson.

It’s located on the western edge of the Kahurangi National Park, near the beginning (or end) of the Heaphy Track (one of the great walks of New Zealand).
