Summary

We all know Australia is the place for bushwalking... New Zealand has some good tracks too... but surprisingly the rest of the world has some places worth visiting too! (imaging that!)

This is the place to share walks from outside of Australia/New Zealand.

Walks in South Island NZ

Welcome Flat

An interesting walk along the Karangarua and Copland Rivers. the walk is the western section of the Copland Pass track that is an alpine pass that must be completed by competent alpine hikers, or by hiring a guide out of Mt Cook Village. <br />The walk is reasonably easy with only about 600m elevation gained, though there are a number of river crossings all of which have some form of bridge. the best part about Welcome Flat is at the hut there are thermal pools which have been terraced all with different temperature pools.<br />The hut itself is also rather unique being one of only a few that are 2 storey, with the communal cooking and eating area downstairs and sleeping upstairs. During the peak tramping season the hut is manned by a DOC ranger which is a volunteer service, and I think it would be an awesome job spending a couple of months in this beautiful part of the world.
