Run Whitebait Run : October 2014
Shoals of tiny, translucent fish (galaxiids) migrating up New Zealand rivers from the sea. A culinary delicacy with spectacular colouring - when you look closely. That mob that swam into the trap were thanked for their participation - as video extras - and carefully released back into the river, to continue their epic journey upstream. Those spicy, crispy, dry-roasted whitebait, and whitebait pattie with egg/garlic/shallot/cummin, were excellent eating. Nature's bountiful provender for the hunter-gatherer. Every single whitebait has a unique gem (bling) pattern on their heads; like jewels. When sunlight shines through their flesh it refracts into spectacular blues, greens and pinks (see my 'Whitebait in colour' video for better examples of this).
Music is by the cameraman.

OKARITO WEST COAST NEW ZEALAND 2019
Okarito is a magical spot for nature lovers and the ornithologically inclined. Set on a sandspit snug beneath the Southern Alps, 25km from Franz Josef Township, the land folds towards Okarito Lagoon, combining rainforest and wetland to great effect.
Renowned for its animated estuary and boisterous Tasman Sea beyond, this area has always been a haven for birdlife.
For Maori making regular visits to the area since their arrival an estimated 600 years ago, the region would've been a giant pantry with kai from land, sea and sky keeping the people well provisioned.
In fact Okarito is Maori for place of the young bulrush shoots which are said to be rather tasty when picked young.
The Terrace track
This easy walk winds a short way along the bush-clad terraces at the south end of the village.
There is no access beyond the bridge due to a slip and you will need to return the way you came.
Take a torch and explore this walk at night to see glow-worms in the forest, especially under and around large fallen trees alongside the track.

Hokitika - Lake Kaniere - West Coast, New Zealand
Lake Kaniere at Hokitika, West Coast, New Zealand is 19km from Hokitika. It is a popular spot for picnicking, water skiing, kayaking, fishing, walking and mountain biking. Visit the Hokitika Gorge, Dorothy Falls and Lake Kaniere for a wonderful scenic driving loop.
Arguably one of the countries most beautiful lakes, it is located in the Lake Kaniere scenic reserve surrounded on three sides by mountains that are capped in snow during winter. There are a number of picnic sites and short walks available.
The lake has clear water and a sandy bottom so is a favourite for swimmers in summer. For a more invigorating experience the brave can take a plunge into the pool below the icy and majestic Dorothy Falls.
There is a campsite which is popular with boaters who enjoy water-skiing and fishing for salmon, perch, rainbow and brown trout. Mountain bikers and walkers will love the 10 km historic water-race track which is suitable for people of average fitness. Along the way you will hear and see a myriad of birds like tui, bellbird and kereru or wood pigeon.
The Lake Kaniere Walkway is another beautiful walk that traverses native bush along the western shore of the lake. The more adventurous and fit can tackle the seven hour return walk to the peak of Mt Tuhua or climb the 1270 metre high Mt Brown to stay in a refurbished historic hut. Your hard work is rewarded by fantastic views of Hokitika, Lake Kaniere and surrounding mountains including Aoraki/Mt Cook.
The West Coast Wilderness Trail passes by Lake Kaniere on its way between Hokitika and Cowboy Paradise at Milltown, making it a great place for a picnic stop.
If walking or biking isn't your thing the scenic drive around the lake gives easy access to Dorothy Falls. Continue driving through rich dairy country to the stunning Hokitika Gorge with its vivid blue water and then return to Hokitika having enjoyed one of the best scenic loops around.
