Spent a little time in the Saturday Nelson market and visited the Hansen jewellers where we got dads 'precious'. Visited the Buller Gorge Swing bridge on the way over-your first encounter with gold country coming from this direction. Also the first experience of sandflies (very good outcrops of active fault planes here).
And onward to Blackball and the ‘Formerly Known as the Hilton Hotel’ where we camped for about NZD15 in the back carpark. An exceptionally quirky place if ever there was one full of gold diggers and fur trappers. Quite unlike anywhere else we went a really fun night with amazing people.
