Rakaia Gorge (near Mt Hutt):

Long drive today from Mt Cook to Christchurch. We left Mt Cook in heavy rain. It rained all night and then this morning a fab thunderstorm rolled through. It was only a matter of minutes up the road when the sunshine started (bright rainbow) and hasn’t stopped. Quick lunch and park play in Fairlie. One hour to Christchurch where we will stay two nights before returning to Sydney.
