4 WD Magdellan Valley trip with NPS April 2015

 It was very wet and dreary when we set out in the morning from The Boyle up the Magdellan Valley

 These horses were at St Andrews, and they were very friendly.

 Very healthy cattle all the way through the Valley

 This is the Stennying Hut and we stopped for lunch there, and then returned back the way we had come.

Sharplin Falls 8th January 2010

Sharplin Falls are not very far from Methven township, and it is about a 45 minute walk to get to them. The track is like a highway, well made and solid. The steps are on the up hill climb, and down as well, had me puffing especially with camera pack on back. The falls were split 2 ways. I have only shown one way. There are beautiful spans of ferns, and the river is a beauty on its own. A place you should go and see.
