THE CHASM - Fiordland National Park
A very easy wheelchair friendly 1 km 20 minute walk which leads to two foot bridges over the Cleddau River. From the bridges, we get great views of powerful waterfalls.

The track begins here at a large carpark. The carpark (when we look closely) is littered with dozens of small rubber components which have been torn off parked cars by cheeky Kea - the highly intelligent and quite friendly native mountain parrots which live here.
