The Red Barn was the Glenorchy railway station. The line ran from it to the end of the wharf. We tramped (hiked/walked) the Rees Dart track Easter 1968. There was nothing at Glenorchy. The road from Glenorchy up the east side of the Dart River crossed a stream called the Jordan River and ended at a place called Paradise.

Paradise was originally called Paradise Duck Flat. The Duke of York (later George VI of England) stayed at an old mansion nearby called Arcadia and said - this is Paradise - and the name stuck.

Hi, I did the Rees Dart in the 70s and there was practically nothing at Glenorchy then either. A pub, a school and a few houses from memory.

We were there in December time. Road trips crossover and around the South Island. Sure, it looks like paradise. We only had 10 days to view as much as we could. Thanks for sharing and remembering the places. Regards South Africa 🇿🇦.

The possible reason the water is a little cloady at the top of the lake is because the water coming into the lake is snow melt .

Seen a number of your videos and food plays a major role (pies, ice cream, bagels etc 😊) Have you tried Whittaker's chocolate yet? My wife loved it when we visited NZ and is gutted we can't get it in the UK.

Haha I eat it everyday actually! Basically we eat the 95% cocoa one. On special occasions we would have some of the dairy milk one too. I mean it’s just like the dairy milk in the uk but dairy milk is horrible in Nz 😂

Looks like you didn't quite get to Paradise, but you got close! Paradise is an actual place just over the other side of Mt Arthur near Diamond Lake. It was where some of the Lothlórien scenes were filmed for Lord of the Rings. It's only about 6 km north east of where you camped by the bridge.

Can I ask where the SC site was by the river bed near Glenorchy? Fantastic video of our gorgeous country. Thank you. Lord of the Rings was filmed in many places throughout the country, as were many other movies. The Last Samurai amongst them with Tom Cruise. Xena Warrior Princess also. Scenes for Avatar. So many.

Those mountains just don't look real. They are such a stunning backdrop, over the aquamarine water. Hope the weather has remained fine and not too much rain around the place. Is the South Islands' weather similar to Germany and Ireland in their summer?

South Island av temp would be around 22-23 degrees. This year however there has been dozens of days above 30 degrees and with a very thin ozone layer above you get fried very quick😂

@MrWillt100 10 ай бұрын

New Zealand got it's name from Able Tasman from the Netherlands and as you may have noticed it even looks a lot like Europe I mean a lot of the trees are of European origin good examples can be found in our city parks where you'll find the majority of trees are oak trees sad to say any local trees were ripped out completely. However just recently the original flora and fauna is finally being reintroduced.
