In the evening I wandered from the hut down to the river and photographed the irresistible flow. I hoped to see a whio, but it wasn't to be. A gusty wind swirled around the riverbed and the moon, not quite half full, hung low above the silhouette of the forest on one of the steep spurs that climbed to the Ngamoko Range. No stars had yet appeared. Eventually I returned to the hut and prepared a simple meal by the light of the headlamp.
