The first stop was a guided visit to Millbrook Resort
After Millbrook, it was a quick trip into Arrowtown for lunch and to try a spot of gold panning. A few grains of gold may have been collected but nothing to retire on - all staff and students are back at WelTec by now.
Arrowtown also has the remains of Chinese Settlement from its goldrush days. There are some reconstructed shacks, but not much remains of the original settlement now except a few foundations and an interesting outside toilet!

In the afternoon there was a 2 hour drive to accommodation in Te Anau -
The Fiordland Motel (How did this hotel compare with the Novotel in Queenstown?)
Once unpacked and fed there was a boat trip to the Glow Worm Caves of Lake Te Anau. These were only rediscovered in 1948. Quite a peaceful little trip.
