TRIPPING ON THE TRANZ ALPINE

The journey begins.
A most impressive train.

" Time for a Capstan"


Springfield


A typical Tranz Alpine scene.



Arthurs Pass, coal train in background, 30 trucks at 50 tonne each.




One of the several viaducts.





Waimakariri River






Love the colours.







Boats to snow, Lake Brunner.








Contrasts; pasture, forest, mountains.

Like the new look for your blog!

The Tranzalpine was awesome when D & I did it. Do you remember we did it twice? Once in summer and once in winter.

Yeah loved it too, one of the highlights of our trip.

Didn't realise that you had done it twice.
