Too long ago for me to remember, Mike (1983?). We stayed a night or 2 in Te Anau and took a day trip up. Could the time of year have been a factor?

UPDATE: You made me look. December 16, 1983. I'm afraid our itinerary and bookings haven't survived the passage of time. The photos have fared better.

>What rental company? Can you now drive a vehicle in? When I was there you could only take a bus or walk in.
