A shady spot to park

After a long hot drive from Southland, I bypassed congested Queenstown and carried on through the Kawerau Gorge to Cromwell.

I pulled into Lowburn free camp on the shores of Lake Dunstan and found a shady spot to park. Loki dog and I took a welcome plunge in the lake before settling in for the night.
