The last unofficial expedition for this Christmas is to Crystal Battery Track. Meet Brian & Marjon at 9:00am.
This is a one hour walk to lunch near the Crystal Mine, returning the same way. A major part of the adventure is the drive - turn off Coronet Peak Road onto an unsealed road - this leads to a winding 13km drive on Gorge Road to Skippers - one and a half to two hours each way - for confident 4WD drivers only. We will also make time to visit the Mt.Aurum Homestead, Skippers Point School and look down on the Shotover River from Skippers Bridge.

Meeting point
Google now charges to include a map, and their instructions on getting a free API_KEY are too gobbledegooglish for me to bother. The normal meeting place is the lake front near the showgrounds, Lat:-44.6990, Lng:169.1257.
