Siberia Valley, South Island

Near the junction of a small side stream and the main Siberia stream

A typical valley in the south-eastern part of the South Island. The Siberia Stream flows into the Wilkin, which meets the Makarora, which flows into the head of Lake Wanaka. Magnificent country. This is part of a very popular tramping route, with a very good (by New Zealand standards) walking track. The sandflies (blackflies; Simuliidae) can be atrocious, but we were lucky and were hardly bothered.
