Banks Peninsula Track (Sth Island, NZ)
The Banks Peninsula Track is a privately owned and operated track near Akaroa. The track largely crosses farmland and tracks around the coastline with odd pieces of native bush encountered on the way. It is a track that is best taken at leisure over four days but can be easily done in two if the need to be elsewhere is pressing. The start is a short walk into the first hut (1) on the first evening then a hike up and over the hill then down through some native bush to Flea bay for the second night. The next day climbs out to the coastal route passing a small seal colony during the day and ending at Stoney Bay for the night. Lodgings for the night are in picturesque wee cabins in a fairytale like setting with the convenience of a wee supplies shoppe (including vital stuff like wine, etc). Amenities include a swing, pool table and an open air bath with wood fire heating. This is also the stop for the folk doing the walk in two days. The next day is along the coast again to the final stop at Otanerito Bay. The last day climbs out from the coast up through native bush and over the hill to Akaroa.
The dunny again
It was noted that a few trees had been planted in the
vicinity so presumably the dunny will be sheltered soon
Dunny with a view
The sea breeze whistling in the nether regions presumably
warns other folk of the 'in use' nature of the facility ...
The wee store
Vital provisions like wine and beer plus other general non-essentials such as meat, canned goods, food, etc.
