We crossed Lake Wakatipu from Queenstown to Walter Peak on the original 1905 Steamer…it was a great crossing as you could watch them shovel coal in the furnace to create steam for the engines…ragtime music being played on the piano with everyone singing or were supposed to sing. Cam had arranged for his friend JT to meet us at the dock and take us out on to the range so we could see firsthand where Cam had worked…it was amazing as we learned all kinds of facts about sheep, swede, cattle from the perspective of the Station owner…he drove us all around the Station with Jerry opening and closing all the gates…the Station had 18,000 sheep and 1,000 cattle…most of the sheep were grazing at the top of the mountains…saw Walter Peak where Cam had hiked…great country…rough and for the outdoor people…the West side of the Island is rough and tough…the land is not inhabited very much and has a totally different feel to it. We met JT’s wife Sharon and his daughter Kerri…their 5 puppies which were about 5 weeks old and oh so cute. Great opportunity for us to see firsthand the workings of the land.
