Stewart Island

While on Stewart Island recently, I went on a tour of the island’s 25 kilometres of roads. It may be 23, something like that. Accompanying me were these very friendly Otago University students. Many of them were medical students.

I was a bit concerned that so many of them were quite pimply. I don’t think that I would want a pimply doctor bending over me.


Korean

Two or three weeks ago, Michiko, my daughter-in-law, cooked a Korean meal for a small group of friends, and I counted myself honoured to be one of them. Michiko is Japanese, and a chef.

Invercargill

I often stay in this house if I am in Invercargill.
In its history it was once a b & b, and before that a farm house.

Here is a photo of the library.

Ulva Island
While on Stewart Island last week I visited Ulva Island. It’s quite large and very forested but what is really unique about it is that all the rats, possums, and various other vermin have been eliminated. Now there are kiwi, kaka, kakariki, tui, pipi, miromiro, riroriro, piwakawaka.

Torea

I’ve just been on Stewart Island for four nights. Here is one of the photos that I took. I like the way that the black of this Oyster Catcher is like a hole in the light.

Book Signing
Last Friday I was in Auckland to, amongst other things, to sign a special limited edition of my book. 100 hard backed numbered copies have been made. The book is being released on September 10. Copies are available from Parson Bookshop in Auckland.

Queenstown

Te Anau

A view from Te Anau, Southland, that I took last year.


Late Winter
Here is a view from the banks of the Clutha, just below where I live. These branches are still bare but very soon they will be full of life.
