Receiving a New Zealand geology lesson from John. This is overlooking the Waimakariri River, a braided river that was formed by several glaciers that have come through. |
Typical scenery along the main road that cuts through Arthur's Pass |
The panorama at Castle Hill |
The limestone rocks of Castle Hill (note the moon in the background!) |
More geology lessons from John. Here we're learning about how the limestone rocks were formed and shaped. |
Starting our walk through the limestone rocks |
David successfully climbed a rock, but now can he get down? It's steeper than it looks... |
Katie also received a rock climbing lesson today... |
|
Paula also gave it a shot - look at that stretch! |
Of course, getting down required some intense concentration... |
