The Catlins

What a nice little area the Catlins are. Very few people live down there, maybe a thousand. There's lots of widlife though, birds out the yin-yang.. We saw the rare yellow-eyed penguin! You have to wait for them to come out of the sea around dusk and wait in a hiding place where they can't see you because they're very shy. I wasn't close enough to get a photo, but I had definately saw some, binnoculars helped a lot.

I've got a travelling companion for a little while, Bart, from Holland. He's got a van too, so we're travelling in convoy.
