Aotearoa Outdoors

I love camping.  And so does my little whanau - we love to discover new places, explore beaches, climb hills, find rivers to build dams in - all those lovely things childhood memories are made of...

  1. WOW! Love all of the memories within these photos! We bought a tent this year & took our first camping trip to Lake Tekapo! Hopefully we will get to use it as often as your family does! :) Hazel
