Towards Mt Eglinton
The Wick Mountains
Triangle Peak
Mt Lyttle
Snow capped Mt Park
Queuing for the Homer Tunnel - 15 mins at a time
Bumpy ride through Homer Tunnel
Milford parking area
Milford Sound - First glimpse
The Lady Bowen - our "Encounters" boat
Other vessels
The loading quays at Milford Sound
Lady Bowen Higher Falls
Over the Sound
Kayakers head for the falls
Aircraft are diminutive against the surroundings
They fly so close to the 600m cliffs
Old Git happy for a change
More kayakers enjoying the spectacle
View towards the quays
Sisters waterfalls & tree avalanches
More tree avalanches
Stirling Falls in the distance
The U shaped valley supplying Stirling Falls
Gold nuggets embedded inthe cliff face
Another cruise boat
Copper seams show in the rock face
Quartz and Iron too
The Sound opens out
Playful Fur Seals
A pool of Fur Seals
Seals squabbling for position
Towards the Tasman Sea
Waterfalls abound
It hasn't rained for 4 days - A drought hereabouts
Leaving the Seal colony behind
Tree avalanches regenerate in 60 to 80 years
Nearing the open sea
The Tasman Sea (or Ditch) ahead
Stripe Point
The Kissing Turtles
St Annes Point
Close-up of the Kissing Turtles
Heading back inland
Inside the Lady Bowen
Mum by the rear deck entrance
Cruising back down the fiord NOT fjord
Free coffee on board
Sheerdown Peak above the Sound
A fur seal colony
Trying to get his fin over
I'm the king of the castle
Lovely warm sun to bask in
Sing-alonga Seal
A more impressive Sheerdown Peak
Looking astern to the Tasman Sea
A wider angle shows the size better
Nearing the Stirling Falls
151 metres high
We're heading in
The height has to be seen to be believed
The "rainstorm" extends about 50 metres out
All wrapped up for close approach
You won't catch me near the bows
Stirling Falls is one of two permanent falls
Just what the tourists need - more water
Stirling Falls fall astern
A better idea of the magnitude - over 500 ft
A sheer cliff face rising 2000 ft
A small cascade 600 metres above us
The scale of these cliffs in perspective
Cascade Peak overlooks Milford Sound
A female BASE jumper did this for a Pepsi Ad
Over 2000 ft with an overhang
Piopiotahi is the Maori name
Mt Isolation
Milford Sound is really a Fjord - glacier formed
The Cascade Peak
North towards Mills Peak & Mt Graves
Mills Peak ice cap
South showing Footstool with Terror Peak behind
The snow covered Mitre Peak
Sheerdown & Odyssey Peaks
Milford Deep Underwater Observatory
A 12 metre spiral staircase descends
Milfords sea-life can be viewed from down under
Departing the Underwater Observatory
More customers arrive
Back to the quay, the Darren Mountains astern
Lady Bowen Falls are 151 metres high
Helicopters fly non-stop sightseeing trips
Bowen Falls are the second permanent falls here
Nearly 500 feet high
The rush back to collect the next trippers
The photographer returned a favour
The Homer Tunnel queue on the way back
The Alpine route is quite severe
The last bus through from the other side
Clifden Suspension Bridge (Not Brunels at Bristol)
Timber deck and railings, steel cables.
Four massive stone piers support the bridge cables
View from the new Clifden Bridge
Sea view from Riverton campsite pitch
Longwood campsite - neat & tidy
The old bus in situ for the night
Day 22 Milford Sound & more
