We've got another workstay booked on a farm in Fairlie, which is Canterbury, east side of the alps near Christchurch. So we left the rainy west coast in a downpour, and of course it cleared up as soon as we get to the dry side. It is noticably colder after leaving the west, the west coast is in some kind of microclimate and tends to be warmer than elsewhere.
We were in Arthur's Pass in December, but didn't go all the way through to the west coast. Back in December it was busy, I remember driving past Klondyke corner campground and it was full- this time of year there's only a few cars, so we pulled in to camp since it's just off the main road.
There were 3 resident Kea's here that love to play- you're not supposed to feed them, but they're a very smart parrot and you can give them things to play with. I put a tent peg in the ground and they took turns trying to pull it out.
