The garden trout hatchery was amazing, as trout living in the free flowing river were happy to spend all their time there, knowing that food would be thrown to them by staff and visitors, The size of them was evident as they thrashed about in the water to catch the tit bits,  

Unexpected cold weather brought an amazing sight, as heading towards Charlottes Pass, it began to snow.  At the Pass, many got out to experience the snow and have a chance to make a snow ball.  A totally amazing sight.  For some, it was the first time they had seen snow for real.
