After days of almost-continuous rain the clouds suddenly lifted…and the nation’s two highest peaks revealed themselves.
On the left is Mount Tasman (3,497 metres), on the right is Mount Cook/Aoraki (3,724 metres); Tasman looks higher simply because it is the closer peak to Lake Matheson.

Much more of NZ’s South Island to come, eventually….
Hi Doug, the photo was worth the wait. You’re lucky to be enjoying the view. Yesterday my partner and I attended the opening of a new exhibition of Peter Dombrowskis photos of Tasmania, concentrating on the the Franklin, Cradle Mountain and Mt Wellington at the Monash Art Gallery introduced by Dr Les Walkling.
