T R A M P I N G // Rimutaka Forest Park
Rimutaka Forest Park : Catchpool Valley, Butchers Track, Cattle Ridge, Orongorongo Valley.
Hiking is called tramping in New Zealand FYI
This is my first go at documenting some of my travels, trips and outings around New Zealand and the world. I’m new to this creativity, so forgive the shaky camera and basic editing ( I used the free iMovie app on my iPad, and I can tell you the music options are limited...)
Walk with me through the beautiful woods of Rimutaka Forest Park, Wellington Region, New Zealand.
19/8/2018
From the Catchpool Valley carpark we joined the Butchers Track which took us very steeply up to Cattle Ridge. The views towards Wellington and the ocean were spectacular. We could even see snow on the peaks of the South Island mountains.
The ridge soon became surrounded by dense trees and we almost got lost. Our quiet wander was only interrupted by the gorgeous song of the native Tui.
The track opened out onto the Orongorongo riverbed which runs at the base of two steep, tree covered cliffs. The valley was empty and still; you could imagine a dinosaur emerging from the trees to drink from the stream.
Our return to the car coincided with golden hour, and the warm, dappled sunlight through the canopy kept our tired legs moving.
Video w/Sony A6000 (Sam) and later, when the battery died, w/iPhone.

Crew in Wellington Fight to Save Hobbit Film.m4v
Film techies and other film professionals marched in Wellington in protest to the actions taken by an Australian based actor's union which threatens the future of The Hobbit filming in New Zealand, thousands of jobs, and the future of the New Zealand film industry.
Music track is 'Precious Ace' by Lucid 3. I haven't asked permission to use this track (but I have purchased the whole album) so if it's not ok, please contact me and I'll take it down. If some of you buy something from Lucid 3 (and you should because they're a great NZ band and Victoria Girling-Butcher has a lovely voice) then hopefully it will all be worthwhile for them!
Thanks for watching and support NZ industries!!

Tragics High Country Omeo-Dargo-Sale
After morning tea at Omeo bakary the Tragics head up to Mt Hotham via the Great Alpine Rd. The air has a distinctive chill in it as we climb. After a few happy snaps we head back down to Dargo High plains rd. This road has some lovely views at the higher parts. Heading into Dargo we stop at the iconic Dargo hotel were we have a few drinks, eat and make plans for the route to Sale. Some chose to ride Firestone Rd whilst I stayed on the designated route.
