The Nine Great Walks

My journey across New Zealand will hopefully encompass the completion of all nine 'Great Walks.'  The Great walks were established as some of the most spectacular walks in the country and certain ones such as the 'Milford Track,' The Tongariro Northern Circuit,' and the 'Routeburn Track,' are said to be some of the most spectacular walks on the planet.  

The nine walks actually include a river journey in which I will attempt to paddle 145 kilometers.  The walks will be completed in this order.  Lake Waikaremoana, the Tongariro Northern Circuit, the Whanganui River Journey, the Abel Tasman Coastal Track, the Heaphy Track, the Milford Track, the Routeburn Track, the Keppler Track and the Rakiura track.

Assuming that all goes relatively well I will end the New Zealand leg of the trip sometime at the beginning of March and then hopefully fly to Tazmania and on to the Australian mainland.
