Yesterday, Julia went kayaking ...... "What an amazing morning paddling around a bay in Stewart Island - kayaking what a buzz with little blue penguins swimming in the sea nearby"

These are "sea tulips"

Naturally, Julia also visited the home of Dave Toole - "toolie" as we know him here - in his "Trillium Haven"

So pleased Julia that you've been able to visit parks and gardens as well as the mountains, and meet some of our alpine gardeners as well as those who take you mountaineering. So often the overseas visitors come and go quickly and we, the rest of us, never get to meet them.
It is worth saying here that the wonderful rock walls and other rock work at Hokonui Alpines has all been done by Louise herself, with no help even from Peter. She is a very clever lady (and strong!) with a wonderful eye for the right angle to lay a rock or chose the exact right spot for a special plant. I have learned a lot from her over the years.

What a pleasure to see all these beautiful places. We still have good memories of the landscape
and the plants we saw during the Southern Alpine Conference 1996. NZ alpine plants are simply
beautiful, but our local climate is not so suitable for them at all.
It is nice to see Steve Newall with his jandals in good health.
Many thanks for this fine report.
