Camp Post

for the Te Kinga and Kotuku trip we went to Arthurs pass outdoor education centre and the mt cheeseman lodge. At the education centre we looked for lots of kea's and other amazing native birds but I must say that the beds where uncomfortable but the food was amazing.

 At the cheeseman lodge the beds were quite nice and the food was great and our principle  brought  some little sleds for us to slide on. It was fun skiing at cheeseman and we slid down on the little sleds that I mentioned before. Overall camp  was awesome great foods and good beds it was a bit cold but it was fun.

The Ghost Town Of Waiuta

The ghost town of Waiuta by Grace Ellery - Picard.

Waiuta is a place of ghosts that was abandoned many years ago. It used to be a little town of 600 people. It was a gold mining area that has collapsed years ago and now it has been left to nothing but nature.

The old stuff

The mine was what founded Waiuta. For many years it has been abandoned along with an old ghost school. Things have gotten real old through the years but it is still remembered for the gold mine.

Places to stay

Now Waiuta has a big lodge. This is an image of the lodge. The lodge has a lot of space. Also there is a big long walk to a really nice hut called Big River Hut, here is a photo to the side.

It is a really nice place to stay, come on down and get to Waiuta, the Ghost Town.
