Bushwalk Australia

Tahiti?

Extremely close. So close that I hear the cows calling.

Samoa?

Not Samoa. You've gone from almost correct to thousands of kms away. You were previously in the right country but on the wrong island. My last clue was a bit cryptic but solid.

I'm less than 50 km from Tahiti.

I thought your clue referred to Sa-moo-a but you were obviously referring to Moo-rea Maiao

Yes! Moorea is correct. The less developed and arguably the most rugged and spectacular of the three islands we visited in the region, Tahiti, Moorea and Bora Bora. And the only one where I did a proper bushwalk.

Thanks johnw, next. Europe

Landmannalaugar?

If I wasn't getting so *&%$#! old and distracted by other things I'd love to visit Iceland.

Thanks, I haven't been there but it's pretty well known.

Staying in NZ, much less remote:

Frank Kitts Park?

I wasn't expecting that level of accuracy eggs! I would have accepted Wellington Harbour etc.
I'm now terrified that you have the ability to spot which cafe I'm sitting in having a coffee anywhere on earth .

I imagined you finding the roughest, scrubbiest bit of Wellington shoreline to ensure it was a bushwalking photo.

Staying in NZ.

Thats a Remarkable photo Eggs

Wrong island Greg

Mt Ruapehu?

Yes John. A great walking site.

Thanks eggs. Yes looks like plenty to do around there, although if visiting that region I'd probably want to do my bucket list Tongariro Crossing.

Staying in NZ. This might be a bit obscure but I'll give it a go:

Mt Crichton walk near Queenstown.

Correct. In the sluiced canyon section of it, remnant of the gold mining days. Beech forest slowly reclaiming it.

Also in NZ. Shouldn't be hard.

No takers so far - Mou Waho Island. I've driven from Queenstown to the West Coast around Lake Wanaka but unfortunately the road bypasses this.
And I don't think I could see it in the distance from the Wanaka foreshore. Looks like boat is the only option.

Correct. The tiny island you can see is in Arethusa Pool, a lake on Mou Waho island, which is on Lake Wanaka, which is on the south island of NZ.

So when you swim out to the tiny island you are on an island on a lake, which is on an island on a lake, which is on an island.

Boat or kayak are your access options. Water taxis will take you there from Wanaka. You will almost certainly see Wekas.
