The Goblin Forest is pretty wide spread at certain altitudes around the mountain, so we tend to visit the less well travelled parts of it on the northern slopes.

I loved the forests like this when I visited NZ 30 years ago. Breathtakingly magical. And sometimes accompanied by the little birds with yellow who flew around you eating the tiny flies. I can’t recall their names. Peewees?
@harbie Thank you very much :) @kuva It's a bit dry at the moment as well - it looks so much nicer in the rain :) @fbailey It actually needs rain...desperately! @haskar The Ents may well live here...

@ladynoswar Thanks very much :)
@northy I've gone for the 12-50mm - the lens that died was the 14-42 so this seems like a pretty good replacement option. It's not a pancake but that doesn't bother me in the least. It certainly reads like a pretty good all rounder. https://www.photowarehouse.co.nz/shop/shop-by-product/camera-lenses-2/olympus-micro-43/olympus-12-50mm-f-3-5-6-3-ed-m-zuiko-ez-micro-4-3-lens-black/
