The worst of South Island


- Gorse: the noxious weed is everywhere and scars the vistas all too frequently

- Hamner Springs; marketed as tiny mountain village with quaint attitude and a destination in itself, horribly good marketing for a dull, crowded and souless urban settlement.

- Recreational hunters and hunting everywhere. A mentality I just don’t understand and a practice I abhor.

-Picton: The first landfall for the ferry from the North Island is encircleed by scarred hills from forestry. What isn’t covered in rubble or pines is covered by gorse.

In hindsight, if this is the worst on offer then the best can surely be noted as being brilliant!
