Went for a wander along the Reefton last Sunday. Still looks a bit barren.
A little bit of regrowth.
Had a look in the fire refuge at the watertank, not much there, just dripping water in a small concrete room. It felt like a set from a creepy movie. Did not stay long!
They still wanted silly money to go up Lake Mountain ($18.50), even late in the afternoon. And probably too much snow for that vehicle anyway (yeah right).
Lots of branches and litter on the road, so take care out there.
