Yes, there is lots of beautiful places in the South Island. I am lucky, I grew up in Southland originally although now live in South Canterbury, but have traveled lots throughout the South Island. For every place that is well known there is a couple which are hidden. It is those "hidden" gems which are priceless. I could write a book of all the beautiful places and most are within easy reach, you just have to know they are there because in most instances they are not advertised or sign posted.

Spent a lot of time in this region it is my mothers favorite area :). I should point out since you have taken this video. The Church of the Good Shepherd in Tekapo, now has a rather large fence around it and Gates. Simply to control the "tourists". It is an active church and people were just walking in doing what they wanted whenever regardless of what was happening. Maybe a wedding or service. To help control that aspect of Tourist behavior there is now a wire fence in place. It is not a large security fence as such but it is there just the photos didnt really show it ( Not sure when this video was actually taken ). The lupins :) personally I love the lupins and think they are wonderful. Sadly the local council does not seem to agree and there has been bitter debate between those who live there and the council. As far as the council is concerned they are "weeds" and they had (not sure if still do) a spraying program to get rid of them. I seem to recall there was a compromise reached but cannot remember now. I am sure someone will know. You used to be able to drive along the Canal roads (yes they are private roads owned by Genesis Energy) but sadly in the last few years they have been closed off for the most part. Simply because they are privates roads and NZ's hellbent attitude to liability and OSH. The owner of those roads had no choice but close em) Some stretches you can still access but not all. The milky blue water color is due to glacial action. You should NOT drink the water. The color is caused by the movement of the glaciers moving against the rocks and grinding up the rocks. The water is very cold. Another really lovely video Peter and Yen and thank you for sharing it with everybody :).

Thank you for sharing all the insights Greg! Yes, such a beautiful part of NZ 👍 Hmm we don't remember any wire fence around the church.. this video was from the end of Jan this year. Maybe they only put it up when there's actually a service on? We heard about how the pretty lupins are considered weeds essentially there too! It would definitely be a tricky situation to control. Hopefully they'll leave some areas with it still because it really is beautiful when in full bloom!

@@PeterandYen Maybe they have taken it down, afterall we dont have the tourist numbers we did have.. To be honest has been a while since was last up there so anything is possible :) It was never a massive fence it was more used to help control the numbers. The roadways sides used to be covered in Lupins for miles and miles... For sure I can understand the councils stance, afterall it is technically a weed / unwanted plant... But, in saying that it also adds to the attraction of the region and especially when they are in full flower so very lovely and such wonderful photographic spots.. I have done lots of travel overseas in my time but nothing is quite like our own wonderful country....
