Making the most of this warm spring day we wandered to a view we often see but today was photo worthy! When Peter camped here the glacier was in full view, reaching around the corner with the terminal face just at the back of the lake. This is a Kettle Lake left behind by the retreating glacier hundreds of years ago. Large blocks of slower melting ice left huge depressions in the valley floor.

Julie and Jonathan call their Bed and Breakfast Ribbonwood Retreat after the Ribbonwood tree that grows near their home. Once common these trees are now in decline. We have planted Ribbonwoods and many other trees to attract native birds back to our garden. Maori Proverb: If you cut the heart of the flax bush, where will the bellbird sing?
