Franz Josef

4/2/25: We visited the West Coast Wild Life Center in Franz Joseph, where they are working to increase the population of 2 rare kiwi birds – the Rowi and the Tokoeka. They also have another endangered species, a rare lizard like creature, the Tuatara. We saw 2 Rowi, but no photos are allowed, so we could only photograph the Tuatara.

Finished our stay in Franz Joseph at the Snake Bite Brewery with the ubiquitous meat pie and of course a beer to wash it down!
