Yesterday proved too rainy to attempt any walking and so i had a quick explore of some local gold mine tunnels instead, i got about 200m in with my head torch but the rainwater seeping in was making it rather difficult so i turned back. All the rivers were torrents that day and although i wasn't there to see it, rain water forced part of the glacier the size of a house crashing down into the valley.

Today i have done a walk to 'Roberts Point', a hell of a slog through rain forest, over Indiana Jones style swing bridges and up to an outcrop overlooking the glacier, you can see it on the left hand side of the photo. It gave fantastic views onto the alien landscape of icy crevices.

Apparently my credit card should arrive on Thursday so I'm hoping to make a move that evening down to Fox Glacier 25km south of here.
