It was late in the afternoon on the drive from Haast to Fox Glacier and dusk was setting in. Mist covered the countryside and whispered through the forests. The scene was ghostly and quiet, in the middle of nowhere without a soul to be seen. I stopped by Highway 6 to take this moody panorama just past the bridge over Havelock Creek.

Havelock Creek is one of the many creeks and streams that Highway 6 crosses over on the way north from Haast to Fox Glacier near to Karangarua. These all flow west from the mountains in the West Coast of New Zealand to the Tasman Sea. The mountains to the east quickly rise to over 1000m, covered in temperate rain forest.

Road: Havelock Creek Bridge is about 18km south of Fox Glacier Township and 103km north of Haast and 70km north of Lake Moeraki.
