New Zealand Camping at it's best - Kinloch

Hey everyone, we are definitley in paradise this episode. Kinloch at the head waters of Lake Wakatipu in the Glenorchy area, what an incredible place to spend a week, exploring and soaking up some views.
we hiked to the Routeburn track and walked the nature loop as well as found our own swimming hole, southern lights and just all around beautiful scenery. A great place to take some time to unwind for sure.

    Wow, you've really captured the beauty of the Glenorchy area so well! I want to go now!

Thanks so much for your inspiration and for guiding us to all the best spots. Have a very Merry Crimbo all of you!

The road into this spot, if we continued pass the camp ground there is no where to turn around until you reach the Greenstone station which is 12km away and 4 small river crossings, which would have been an interesting adventure with the caravan.
