Up in the air

The fog cleared and the chopper arrived right on time. We flew along the river bed, looking at the work done by the gorse-control people, then further upstream until we reached the native bush that flanks the mountains.
Flying over native forest is exciting and memorable. The forms of the crowns of the trees are spectacular.

The source of the Aparima is a series of trickles amongst the scree eroding from the back of the peaks of te mauka tapu Takitimu.
Fabulous place!
