... Albatross, NZ Fur Seals, and a Fiordland Penguin (who was a little lost considering Fiordland was quite a way to the North!)

After the ferry ride back to Bluff we headed off straight away ourselves for Fiordland. I think we would have been much quicker than the lost Fiordland Penguin. We are making good use of the summer daylight hours. We arrived at a campsite, 50 kms short of Milford Sound, five hours later ...

... Australis - just as you might expect given the meaning of Rakiura - land of the glowing skies! I was hoping to see this from Stewart Island as the sun has been very active lately and we were far enough south to see any possible auroral activity. The feint red curtain-like structures waved about over a hill to the south for a few minutes before fading. I was lucky enough to bag a number of shots that showed the rose-red (ionised nitrogen) glow.

Day 148: 33 km - 13 hrs 20 min

It's too early for them to come out. I sit, watch the sea and eat an apple. I feel light-hearted and free. I burb loudly. A noise behind me.

... Last week they said that they might have to get a technician, another guest told me....
It's a nice walk along the river to the local airport. The plane has 8 seats including the pilot's. It looks like a van with wings. I sit right behind the co-pilot's empty seat and have a great view.
