نيوزيلندا يعني كمثل هذه الجزيرة هل ما تزال تحتاج إلى وصايه أم أنها ممكن تصير دوله مثل كل الدول ؟! يعني مثلاً هل هناك شبهة استعمار أو إحتلال أو حلف مع أو على الجزيره أم ماذا يا جماعه ؟!
What a wonderful video. So informative and such great footage. My daughter and I walked the track this summer and it was amazing. Your video brought the memories back. And amen on the comment that it’s not a race!!
This was wonderful to find. My mother worked on the track at Pompolona hut from 1966-72. Her name is Marlene..the creek was named after her. She was delighted to see your video.
What a wonderful video. Thank you so much. I love the fact that you were quite happy to be the last to arrive for the duration of the walk and got rewarded with those brilliant views. Patience as they say... I will hike the Milford Sounds next summer. Your video has given me a good indication of what lies ahead. Once again thank you.
Thanks for the great video and commentary on your trip - stunning! I enjoyed your dry Kiwi humour, and I loved the closeups of the Weka chicks and the Kereru in particular. ❤️ I live in Rotorua and this walk is on my bucket list. 😊
I have a little stain on my forehead like the map of New Zealand Divine land New Zealand Incredibly beautiful nature Here I will live next time maybe in the next life
uuuff two years ago I was in New Zealand and I cried with emotion for that wonderful land, great experience and thanks for a good introduction for those who visit it next time, I hope to return some year
Better by far than any proprietary insect repellent is one you can make quite easily by yourself. It is a 50/50 mixture of Olive Oil and "Dettol" (a popular antiseptic solution). It may smell a bit awful, but so do many of the proprietary solutions, and if you happen to scratch yourself, the dettol's antiseptic properties will be appreciated. Also, the olive oil is good for the skin. Just shake up the mixture before each application, as it will separate. Then smear over most of the exposed surfaces -- and if you miss some, it won't matter. As with all anti-insect preparations -- do not get any in your eyes. I learnt about this many years ago before walking the Track -- and had enough time to go to the grocery shop and get a small bottle each of olive oil and dettol, then to the pharmacy for a spare bottle, then mix some. Easy, and it worked a treat! Even while sitting still it kept the mosquitoes -- those awful, dreaded, otherwise voracious, Milford Track mosquitoes, at bay. I enjoyed my walk without being bitten.
I see they have enlarged the huts. In 1984 (when i did the walk when I was 35) there were only 24 beds for independent walkers. Still looks fabulous. The walk down from MacKinnon's pass was the hardest. On the last day we had over 24 inches of rain.
What a strange accent.. St. Andrews or that Black and White striped Blazers and Boaters place ? btw.. worked there at the airport in the 60s for 2 years.
