Gunns Camp



On our way down to Milford Sound we stayed at a place called Gunns Camp which some friends of mine had discovered when they were travelling around New Zealand a couple of years ago. It is a small camp of tin huts which use to house the workman and their families during the 1930's. The huts have been left in their original condition and sit next a wild river, surrounded by trees and mountains.



The night we stayed on the camp there was a real mixture of people staying there. From the hardy finish backpackers camping in a field next to the huts to some wealthy New Zealand deer hunters who landed their brand new helicopter along side their tin hut! I would love to have stayed longer such a great place with so much character.
