Scenery was/is great.

Disappointing though to see so many stock animals actually in the river and creeks with effluent not only in the water but along both shores. Best practice is to fence all stock animals out of and away from waterways to keep from degrading the water quality, natural embankments and stream bed environment. In addition this river feeds Lake Wanaka, where all lakeside communities get their drinking water.

Stock owner - come on, lift your game. This is not a good look, this is your stewardship and you should be doing more to protect the health of the local communities.
