Culvert
20 March 2008
Just off the road is one of the large culverts cut by hand when the road was constructed. Seriously hard work!
We stopped early to enjoy the area, camping at the (free!) DOC site at Otumaire. We had it completely to ourselves. This is a friendly area; as people drove by they tooted at us, but fortunately stopped after it got dark.
Sadly, although this is a National Park, the possums were all around us, screaming and fighting the dark. Even so, we think we heard the shrill cry of the kiwi.
