Greg says that the Maoris have a legend that the Gods put sandflies in Fiordland to stop people living there as it is so beautiful. You're not kidding!
Check out the map as there aren't any roads into this area, except for the one up to Milford Sound. I think it would be much more exciting to access by the sea in a kayak, but that will have to wait for another trip.
Beautiful DOC camping spot on the road to Milford Sound at Henry's Creek on Lake Te Anau. We checked out the sound and envied the folks going on scenic cruises, which were a bit beyond our pocket, meaning we wouldn't be able to eat for at least a week after our trip! Unfortunately, the only kayaking on the sound was a guided trip and there was no freedom rental (on your own) available. Went for a bush walk to Misery Creek (as you do) and ate loads of food.
Total no of nights camping = 14
Pics show views of Lake Te Anau, Mitre Peak across Milford Sound, a cute little bird that followed us on our walk and parked up before entering the Homer Tunnel.
