Steam at the Lake Rotoiti Classic Boat Festival, New Zealand

I had an amazing couple of days with steam folks at the Lake Rotoiti (South) classic boat festival in St Arnaud, New Zealand. I cannot thank them enough for their hospitality, their trust in letting me run their boats and traction engine, and for putting up with me waving a GoPro around 90% of the bloody time. Also for putting me up when I dipped my fruit and phone in the lake and needed a couple days to get a new screen. Again, some of the most generous and welcoming folks a person could ever ask for.

A VERY special thank you to;

Alan and Leslie Familton
Brent and Lynn Winter
and
Reece and Johanna Cobb

Without you folks, and the New Zealand steam community as a whole, none of this would have been possible.
