In early December my siblings and I drove down the Catlins (about 1.5 hours south of Dunedin) to take little brother Lukas on his first overnight tramp. We chose a very easy tramp - only two hours each way - to Tautuku hut; a basic, free DOC hut mostly used by hunters who leave notes in the guest book like "PITBULL GOT A DEER ON WAY IN" and the like. We felt badass, by association.
Click on the photo below and read the warning signs - one of these things is not like the other.
Lukas, being the rugged, outdoor kinda online-gamer he is, brought his own sleeping bag. Only problem: it was a Pipsqueak Std (note his feet in the second picture).
At dusk, the surrounding trees were full of native birds, especially Tui (my darlings).
Hardcore Hana and Lazy Lukas above, and the vista over the seemingly infinite forest below.
