Untamed Natural Wilderness

It was an exciting day for all those who are involved in tourism on the WestCoast of New Zealand, a time to celebrate what we have achieved and to demonstrate how much further we can go.
One of the highlights was the authenticity of the new tourism catchphrase for our region: "Untamed Natural Wilderness".
Anyone
who has heard me telling my New Zealand stories around the
world, will realise how passionately I love my country and how
particularly I love the WestCoast. When we say it is an
"Untamed Natural Wilderness" we are only making a statement of fact. From the
beautiful sunny clear
crisp winter
days, to the frigid katabatic wind affectionately
known as the
"barber" because it cuts to the
bone. From the towering majesty
of glacial walls of ice, to summer swimming
in pristine lakes and rivers. What
is there not to love
about the west coast?
If you need any reminder
of the
spectacular
nature of where I live and
love here is a
recent photo of my
family and I
visiting the glaciers.
