Default There Is Fun For All At Glenfalls Camping Ground...NZ...

We found this amazing Department of Conservation Camp site, tucked away in a very sheltered valley, beside the Mohaka River, 40kms from Napier and every year at Easter as many of the family as are able gather there for the long weekend. Having a large family and many Grandchildren, it is a time that is very precious to us all, and I just wanted to share a little of our fun. I hope enjoy.

This is the beautiful spot at Glenfalls DOC Camp where we gather every year.

Great shots but did you capture any shots of you catching the trout or is that another story.

My pick here is the trout fisherman. Cheers, Bernz

What is hard work? A passport to times like these--simple fun and the pleasure of being together enjoying climbing trees, drifting on a raft, a quiet moment of fishing and sleeping on the hard ground. Okay...just leave out the hard ground and keep all the rest. Thanks for the window to your world.

I can't take the credit for catching the fish, but yes, a nice sized Trout was caught, and very much enjoyed.

Thankyou Lindy. No hard ground these days my friend, all are equipped with air-beds. The window to our world is very interesting....continued in our next.
