  • Having spent a wonderful day cruising around Milford Sound, we set off back to Te Anau, stopping off along the way to take a look at some of the water falls, lakes and views missed on the way to Milford Sound.
    We watch the evening sun setting over Lake Te Anau, before driving along the water front and taking a closer look at the town itself.

    Awesome, Atmospheric - so immersive that it is only the lack of appropriate scent in the air that shakes one back to the familiar four walls of home! Thanks again, for sharing those views. Peter

      Hi Peter, New Zealand is a fascinating country that smells as you might expect, clean and fresh. I'm pleased to be able to give you the occasional break from watching those all too familiar walls.

      Hi Pete, I only live down the road in West Sussex. My son lives in New Zealand, so I visit whenever I can, although with the virus still around it could be a long time before I see him again. The isle of Wight a nice a place to live. I'm glad you enjoy these videos. All the best. Tim.

There are parts of New Zealand that are just like Canada, the main difference being the coastline and volcanic activity.

      @@te_piriti9220 Hi, I'm sad to here that drinking water from the rivers near the TeAnau to Milford Sound is no longer as safe as it was to drink. I've visited New Zealand every 18 months since 2005, I've seen changes during that time, especially to the road and motorway network, especially around Auckland, even along South Island's West Coast where the old wooden Road/Rail bridges have been replaced. Even the tourists have changed, when I first visited most tourists were European or Japanese, now they are mainly Chinese. The New Zealand you grew up in must have been wonderful, although its still a very special today.

      @@Timsvideochannel1 Thanks Tim. I have enjoyed your clips from around the world, especially the rail footage. I just commented to point out that drinking from waterways in New Zealand is now considered a risky practice due to risk of giardiasis or cryptosporidiosis. As an aside I remember the mighty Ka and Kb steam engines that worked the midland line (what is now called the Tranzalpine) pulling the coal trains. They were a masterclass in how to shoehorn the maximum amount of power into a narrow gage engine. There is video footage of these on CZcams if you are interested.

      @@te_piriti9220 Hi, I’ve only visited one country where it is said to be OK to drink the water from the rivers, that was Montenegro, part of the former Yugoslavia. Montenegro looks like New Zealand, rugged and mountainous, I imagine it is how New Zealand looked in the mid 60’s.
      Thanks for the link, I loved the video. The first place my son lived after moving to New Zealand was Plimmerton, home to Mainline Steam’s Wellington Depot. Back in 2005 KA 942 was being restored there before moving to Christchurch to operate excursions to Arthur’s Pass. One of the depot staff used a diesel shunter to pull the locomotive out into the daylight for me to take photographs, it was a magnificent machine. In 2019 I was lucky enough to call in at the depot when Ian Welch was there, he showed me around, there was an ex SAR Garrett he hoped to be able to alter to fit within the NZR loading gauge, along with some exNZR carriages that had been used on the TranzScenic trains before the new stock was introduced. Just up the road is Steam Incorporated’s depot, my son couldn’t have chosen a better place to live from my point of view.
      I have only travelled behind and seen Ja and Ab Class locomotives in action in New Zealand. Ian Welch said I should travel on one of the excursion to Arthur’s pass with the Ka, as soon as it’s safe to travel again I will try to time one of my visits to coincide with an excursion over the Midland line. Take care. Tim.
