    I was nearly in one of the Lord of the Rings movies. I was sitting on a rock behind my house having a cuppa, watching a helicopter with this massive camera fly above the Waiau River across the road from my place. If only they had turned the camera slightly to the right, the movie scene would have changed from remote wilderness, to a highway and me on a rock. Fame is so intangible and fleeting, it passed me by, literally.

    A car full of nerds sounds pretty good to me 😊. An in-law’s brother lost his life to an avalanche on Mt Cook 26 years ago. 23 years later his camera was discovered after snow had melted, and the photos developed. Very emotional for his family.

    Another excellent video. Cody cracks me up as i like his dry sense of humour. My only complaint is the video isn't long enough as there is so much to take in. Perhaps for this south island trip stretch them out to 30mins as i am sure other viewers would be thinking the same as me. Having been there some 20yrs ago & literally blown away & wishing we could have spent more time down there & slowed the pace down & ventured to more locations (travelled in hired Winnebago). I reckon you should make the pie shop sampling/rating as one of your must do in every vlog

We in the land across the Ditch have very small pockets of those trees in Victoria and southern parts of NSW. These were nearly destroyed by 2019 Christmas fires. If it happens these trees are replaced by dry country trees ie eucalyptus.

    Milford Track generally you have to book way ahead, but you never know. As long as they make it to Milford Sound and/or Doubtful Sound and take a boat trip. You are right about Lake Marian (on the way to Milford Sound), it is definitely a hidden secret, worth the steep walk for sure, walked up there three times now, love it. It was weird, the last time was just after a major earthquake years back, and the water level had dropped dramatically - always wondered if the rocks had shifted and opened up a plug hole, wonder if Lake Marian is back up to normal levels? I was so hot I took a dip, water was ice cold, I was out in ten seconds!
