Autumn in North East Valley


In Dunedin, we are having the best autumn colour display I can recall in 8 years. (Have we been here that long?) The few apples left are for the birds. But last night the first snow came and Mt Cargill wears a light mantle of white. J and I walked to the summit from Bethune's Gully two Sundays ago - a 5 hour return trip which was hard but beautiful, moving as you go up through pine forest to lush native bush and finally to a fragrant heather-like sub-alpine vegetation.
