Hi Larry,
Trounson Kauri Park is on my list for the first few days of our visit but we don't now have time to visit Milford Sound so will miss out on Homer Tunnel. Are there any other likely spots for Rock Wren?
I've added our probable itinerary below - a few bits might change if we can't book accomodation - anyone know any interesting spots along this route (birding or otherwise) that haven't been mentioned so far? Dates are from the beginning of February to beginning of March.
Day 1 Auckland - Omapere
Day 2 Omapere - Russell
Day 3 Russell
Day 4 Russell - Auckland
Day 5 Auckland - Rotorua
Day 6 Rotorua - Tongariro
Day 7 Tongariro - Wellington
Day 8 Wellington - Blenheim
Day 9 Blenheim - Kaikoura
Day 10 Kaikoura
Day 11 Kaikoura - Mt Hutt
Day 12 Mt Hutt - Twizel
Day 13 Twizel - Dunedin
Day 14 Dunedin - Stewart Island
Day 15 Stewart Island
Day 16 Stewart Island - Wanaka
Day 17 Wanaka - Franz Josef
Day 18 Franz Josef - Hokitika
Day 19 Hokitika - Christchurch
Day 20-24 Rarotonga & Aitutaki
Day 25-27 Auckland
