We had a picnic
amongst the bush 
before setting out on the Swingbridge Walk. Here is part of the group.
The river has some fine swimming holes. 
Nearby is the location for Rivendell in the Lord of the Rings film.Andy and Ingmar went off on the 3 hour Ridge Walk
the rest of us took the gentler walk through more bush 
admiring many epiphytes growing up in the forest canopy 
and some silver fern 
Here we are on the swing bridge at the end of the track which loops back to the beginning.
The English women paddled as is their wont.
