Milford Sound is worthy of a note from me (Tim). Probably the most awesome, amazing place I've ever been... Days later and I'm still lost for words. Apparently they get over 4 metres of rain a year in Milford, most days are overcast or foggy. However we got sun and clear views... A rareity.
Te Anau is the nearest town albeit over 120K from Queenstown. Then its another 150K to Milford Sound along the most scenic (if not trecherous) route. (bit like the opening scene of the Italian Job...wish I still had me Alfa)... There are no settlemets whatsoever for the whole journey and there is nothing in Milford other than a visitor centre and harbour. Picture is us waiting for green light at Homer tunnel, a 1.5Km tunnel right at the top of a mountain, literally. Only one green light every 15 minutues...... From May to October you have to have snow chains as it can suddenly start snowing without warning.... Remote and bleak but somehow breathtaking....
