Katie Glasgow-Palmer Think of a landscape untouched by man. A rich blue lake surrounded by huge tussock covered mountains with sheer cliffs and angry rock faces. Pure white snow like icing sugar coats a charming little village by the lake‚ and curious looking wekas play hide and seek in the bush shrouded hills.
